Mr. Lix was laughing at me one day. I saw one caught up in a spider web and I watched for a few minutes as it struggled to get out. I kept thinking to myself that it had just spent an hour or so, struggling to get out of it's shell and now it's come to this end after waiting some 17 years to be free???!! I couldn't leave it in the web to struggle and die. I freed it and Mr. Lix said, "There are millions of them and only the strong survive...what the hell are you doing?" I shrugged, thinking...it'll probably get eaten by a bird before it gets to the woods, but at least I gave it one more chance to mate!
I eventually washed as many of the shells off the tree as I could. It just looked icky.....

Good for you lixy! I would have felt the same way. I'm surprised they are not extinct with all the chemicals we use on our lawns now. Someday they might be.
