Dear Warrior;-
        This is all what I know about the feeding habits of Olives: Collectors
along the coast of South Carolina go out in the early evening and put
chicken parts down by suspected Olive trails. (A litle gamy is OK).
Then, they tell me, Olives pop right out and head for the drumstick. Or
may it's the neck.
        You are the one who is charting new territory on molluscan habits. No
one has done the kind of observations you have done. PLEASE keep notes
on those observations.
        And when you get tired of watching who eats whom, see what you can find
out about mating habits. That way we can get a xxx rating for Conch-L
and increase our membership.
