A little snail is seen above a green leaf, the snail has a white shell and it has an almost white semi-transparent skin. Its two very small eyes are seen out.
Roaring thunders as the #snails come out!

Draparnaud's Glass Snail
Bonjour ma cherie. Je suis Draparnaud's Glass Snail. Let us entwine our moist bodies together in an hours-long act of love making. We shall connect our facial genitalia to mutually impregnate each other, after which we can hunt and feast on other snails

two garden snails are moving across a rough, textured concrete patio. the photo appears was taken at night, illuminated by our porch light, which creates distinct, long shadows cast by the snails and their shells. the snail on the left is larger, with a prominent, patterned, right-spiraling shell, and is moving towards the right side of the frame. the snail on the right is much smaller and also possesses a patterned shell.
I just turned on the porch light by the kitchen and saw mommy snail and baby snail out for a walk-about. 🐌🐌
