They actually have video footage of what Ecoman is talking about with Radiata standing up when water hits there shells. They even do a little dance by swaying side to side.

To see the show, go to

Select, the "G. radiata Rain Dance" one.

I've also seen rain trigger mating in testudo.

Water is such an important aspect of life. It just seems to encourage health and activity in all organisms.
