Garden snail (Helix aspersa)

A very good macro, such detail on the head …

hilarydougill, about 1 month ago

Wondrous macro, I haven’t ever looked at them this closely before. Wonderful. Did you know they have a really good memory. If you take one from your garden, mark it with a bit of chalk or something, and take it to someone else’s garden (they will not be happy mind) and put it down, it will be back in your garden . might take it a while, but it will be back.

Cheers mate,i was at the national 2” snail sprint in Kelvingrove,
the 13/8 fav “Slugg’n” show here sadly pulled a muscle….

Robin Brown, about 1 month ago

We have to be careful David at our age pulling a muscle can be serious stuff. I’d shell out on a good fizzy oh there goes my back!!
