This is my first contribution to IRFD. I wasn't sure what to expect; the day dawned with the first real rain we've had in a couple of months. At first it was daunting, but as it started to lighten, I suited up and went out. The first rock I flipped had nothing underneath it but a colony of pill bugs. I can do better than this, I said to myself, and flipped another. Nothing, not even pill bugs. From there, I flipped several more. Nothing, nothing, and more nothing. I should mention that I live close to Point Pelee, which is one of the premiere birding spots in the entire world. The town of Leamington is also known as The Tomato Capital of Canada. We have a lot to brag about, but when it come to critters under rocks, apparently not so much. I had decided to give up when
that one last rock caught my eye. I thought, May as well give it a flip, and man, am I ever glad I did!!For more rock flips around the world, go to Via Negativa
