Hi everybody (Happy Thanksgiving to all USA readers)
Some time ago, I made a posting in another newsgroup where I said that
moles eat underground insects (grubs and such). I was very smartly
corrected by a lady who advised that moles ONLY eat earthworms. Since I
felt uncertain, and since discretion is the better part of valor, I felt
it appropriate to concede that particular match of wits until I could
check my facts.
Can the readers of this newsgroup weigh in on this issue (especially
zoologists with knowledge of mole diets)
;-)
Thanks all!
Have a great turkey day to those who eat meat (and Happy roast-tofu day
for those who are conscious about eating animal products).
Cheers!
