starlight - Fascinating info!! I didn't know what they were tunneling after!! You know what??? I DO have those ugly grubs in my yard. (The BIGGEST, nastiest looking ones!!) Thanks for telling me that. Now the little moles are welcome in my yard! :-) In all honesty, I haven't tried to get rid of the moles. I knew they were after something I probably did NOT want in my soil. Thanks for making the little moles a hero in my yard! ;-) :-) Though I do hope they DON'T tear up any of my garden beds. They do make a mess of my yard. The Sand Hill Cranes like the grubs, too. When they swallow one, you can see it going down their long crane neck! LOL!

Here's a photo of one of the mole tunnels. It goes for about 9 feet. With the rain we had the other day, it kind of washed it away! It was much worse before the rain. If I see any of the grubs in the yard, I will take a photo as they are hideous looking creatures!
