Following jp's quiz I've decided to try my hand at asking a couple of questions. Note that this is my first quiz so I don't know whether it will be easy or difficult (though I suppose the former is more likely!).

Hints: all the creatures are very typical of Malta and the first picture is not the villain from Scream...

awesome haha, i guess that was a bit on the easier side wasn't it? two are inaccurate (convulvulus hawkmoth not death's head, and octopus is correct)

we'll see if anyone knows what the blobs are!

Actually all were off the top of my head and the colouring on the moth did indicate the convolvolus but I was too lazy to confirm and it looked like I could make out a pair of leery eyes staring

Are the blobs some form of snail eggs?

The pic is not too clear.

Not snail eggs, but a snail is involved indirectly
