Snail on the gardenseat

Snail on the gardenseat

I was on the phone when I saw this snail crawling on our gardenseat. I took my camera and made some supermacro shots, the phone in my left, and the camera in my right hand.
This snail is beautiful to see, but a plague as well!
We have to many in our garden. They gnaw all our plants….
