Wow! the slugs looked almost like mice : ) There are these tiny orange ants in my garden that pull a turnip leaf under ground and strip it in the timescale of several hours. There can be a thousand of them in a square inch, it's amazing!
@Helioforge I love the way timelapse lets you see these things that you could never see normally. I think it's amazing to think how much life is there in the garden, out of sight most of the time, but a vital part of the ecosystem.
@TrevorsGarden Hi Trevor, glad you like them. For the longer ones where the camera has to be outside I've been using a Brinno Gardenwatchcam. It's waterproof, you can set the interval and it records straight to a memory stick. For others I use a Canon point and shoot with CHDK for more control. I prefer a point and shoot so that I don't wear out the shutter on my DSLR. I've put a few details on the notes page on my website (linked from my channel) if you are interested in more information.

Hi, you are lucky in my garden those little helpers always go for the living plants I am waiting to harvest :-)

@MrReggub Yeah, they eat mine too when they aren't busy eating the mulch. The frog keeps their numbers down a little though.
