Cone Shells- Killers or Curers
Woodhouse Eaves Village Hall, Main Street, Woodhouse Eaves
The Charnwood Group of the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust presents Brian Hammond, who will talk about fascinating molluscs in the family "Conidae". These venomous and carniverous snails hunt their prey, including fish, and some species have been known to kill humans. Their venom is very complex and is used extensively in drug research.
