    Today I visited a very disturbed limestone hill which is located in the suburban area, about 30 minutes drive from my home. The summit is only about 300 feet. The limestone forest in the highest peak was destroyed by forest fire very long time ago.

    The dead trees at the summit.

    The scenery at the summit. Far away is another limestone hill called Gunung Siden.

    Two Rhinocochlis nasuta are exchanging sperms on the tree. Snails are unisexual animals, so they do not "mate" but exchanging sperms when two snails met each other.
