Snail or slug trails on a grit box.
They have been wandering around eating the algae that’s grown on the lid in the wet winter weather.

#MagicInTheMundane@Hellybootwader I have grown something of an appreciation for our squidgy little friends as I've got older, even if they do try to eat my tomatoes

@Hellybootwader I watched a timelapse or two of them eating human food left out for them, and it taught me something about their behaviour that made me less able to dislike them. I don't know how to describe it, but somehow the fact their decision making is so incredibly simple gave me empathy for them?
I'll see how I feel about that when the little buggers descend on my veggies this year!

@reb we used to have an african snail, which made for lots of observation opportunities. The muscle forward movement is fascinating.

@Hellybootwader when I was in primary school one of the teachers had an African snail, and she brought it in for us to see, I was equal parts fascinated and terrified!
Which has just reminded me of the time an organisation brought various animals for us to see/hold, i remember a snake and some sort of lizard, but little autistic me would only hold the rat because I was (am) strange about texture.

@reb good that you got choices.

@fabio in this poll, I am specifically talking about the relationship with the country of origin. We are not talking about how people are viewed and defined in their country of residence.
There are other terms, like diaspora, used for this kind of population.
So, I'm OK with using "expatriate". It represents an unfair power dynamic in some situations, but not this one.

@fabio I am aware of the concern you expressed.
People from richer countries living in poorer countries often have the luxury of defining themselves by their relationship with their home country, so they call themselves "expatriates" and expect others to do so too.
People from poorer countries don't have that luxury. They are defined by people in their new home country, so they are called "immigrants". Association with their country of origin is highlighted as a sign of unworthiness.

@fabio I intentionally chose "expatriate" as an accurate and clear term for describing citizens who live outside their nation of citizenship.
"Expatriate" and "emigrant" are almost synonyms, but "emigrant" is less well known and suggests the immediate aftermath of leaving.
I considered "overseas citizens", "voters abroad", and other terms, but I settled on expatriate because it's clear and accurate.

@evan Good point!

@evan I like how Germany does things. Not only can Germans who live abroad vote, European (non-German) citizens can also vote in Germany for local parliaments. They can also vote in the European Parliament elections.
I would love it if non-European citizens living in Germany had the same possibility. I also think it would be good if they could vote at state level.

@fabio say "emigrant" then. If you're living outside of Brazil, you're not an immigrant to Brazil.
