Beautifully patterned and colourful snail and shell

The world needs more Polymita 🐌 This one is Polymita sulpurosa, superb pic by Julio Larramendi. We now have a genome sequence! 🌝 #snails #polymita

I love #Snails (but hate #Slugs - I'm a #Gardener 🤓)

We've got to admit #Polymita snails, found in #Cuba, are absolute stunners.

They're now being traded & sold, attracting collectors. So, predictably they've become a newly threatened species

Very colourful snail on leaf

For snail Friday, new image of Polymita picta from Tetas de Santa*, Cuba #cuba #snail #snailfriday #alliterationfail #polymita *try translating that 😭, I am going with Santa's tits although that might not be exactly correct

💗 I love seashells, land shells, urchins (even though they are technically echinoderms). I love all types of shells! 🐚🐌
