Hidden away behind one of the classrooms our school caretaker has made a garden to attract butterflies for the children to enjoy. At present the swan plants have many monach butterfly caterpillars busily munching and several crysalis ready to hatch.

When looking for the culprits who have been nibbling on our new lettuce plants and sucking from the ripe strawberries I found a number of slugs and snails. This one appears to only have one eye........!!
