Yeah, i know excitiing  :(, but i  just went for a walk on the pier at Port Melbourne and there are absolutely thousands and thousands of the buggers in the water there.
Any ecologicals out there who can tell me what kind of damage these little critters do?
Nice spot i work - get to see the players come down during the day over summer ;D

CARNTS OF THINGS.

To kill them you have to keep em out of water for days.

Cant cut them in half because they become two.

Major problem.

Happy to report the numbers of these pests have dramatically reduced in the area - still a few.  I wonders where they went to tho lol.
But the garbage in the water is just as bad - i wouldn't swim there if you paid me.
My favourite haunt in Vic is Venus Bay and hope to spend a week there this summer - anyone else got a favourite???

Head to Beechworth every year for a weekend with friends. Also like the Kiewa Valley.

Down the coast we enjoy Cape Otway - can take the Dogs away with us when we go there :thumbsup

Hmmm, i noticed that John after he posted it, but thought if i'm saving the bay from these critters, i would forgive him on this occasion lol.  Although i'm now wondering if it's not all his fault seeing as you can carve them up and they still live.  Wonder if we could distract him from those "endearing" qualities and get him to target spiders.  If you pull the legs off spiders one by one do they live.  I'm sure he'll have an answer  :rollin

Surf coast (Torquay)/ Great Ocean Road. Just outside Healesville is also a nice spot.
