Reached 10 Staphylinidae on Saturday as I creep towards the one third mark. Throwing leaf litter into a white tray has been a lot of fun and makes me think I want a bigger and more robust white tray. When I ordered it a couple of weeks back I though it was a bit indulgent to pay for a tray but now I'm thinking of buying an upgrade!
Another thing maybe worth mentioning was that i found another two spiny snails - one under a rock in a different place and one from shaking leaf litter in another place again. There must be a decent population here.
Anyway, quickie update just to keep the numbers updated on the board

Pop down Petsmart or similar and grab yourself a cat litter tray, it's what all the discerning entomologists use for soil/wood/manure/moss/leaf-sifting :)
