Re: Onchidella celtica from Channel Ids

Dear Bill,
The litle arthropoda on the second picture from Nick Jouault are Collembola as Peter Wirtz wrote In Britain we can found Anurida maritima (Guerin)(fig 9.4.H p 472 in Hayward & Ryland 1995 Handbook of the Marine Fauna of North-West Europe). In Barrett & Yonge 1958 (Collins Pocket Guide to the Sea Shore) p121 we can read: " Body soft-blue, perhaps 1/8 in. long; usually on surface film of rock pools especially where these are small and very sheltered. Upper half of shore, often in groups together; also moving on rocks and weeds. Widely distributed. Common --> Lipura maritima (= Anurida maritima").

But we are very far from sea-slugs.

Dear Yves,
Thanks for this. As you say we are indeed a long way from sea slugs.
Best wishes,
