Tonight We Dine on Barnacles (in Hell)

Mouse-over text: "Tonight we dine on barnacles (in hell)." A Softer World invertebrate tribute again.  They're just so much fun to do.

From Sucia Island, WA. These little snails could totally form an army. You can never trust those mollusks. Sneaky phylum, that one.

I can't remember the genus or species on the snail, but I believe the barnacles are Balanus glandula.
