Two land snails are next to a microphone into which one speaks, saying, “Thanks again to our guest, Vernal, for reading from their new book, How to Eat Fresh Without Getting Killed By Gardeners.” Text at bottom says GASTROPODcast
If it’s #NationalSnailDay then I have to share this drawing of a couple of land snails recording for a podcast. #SciArt

I missed mention of #nationalSnailDay ...
Reminded - just reading of author Patricia Highsmith who became so enamored of snails she would reportedly carry a 100 in her purse (with lettuce) to gatherings, and bypassed import restrictions, Engl>France, by smuggling 6-7 at a time under each breast

Comical drawing of a white ghost with a brown and beige snail riding on its head. They are surrounded by green vines and purple and white flowers. 2 other tiny white ghosts are hovering around as well.
So many snails on my timeline! Happy #NationalSnailDay indeed!

Its Thursday, you know what that means. Thats right its National Snail Day. Did you know snails whose shells curve left are rare and can only mate with other "lefty" snails? Jeremy, a lefty snail studied by the University of Nottingham, had 226 offspring - all were "righty" snails. #NationalSnailDay

On #Nationalsnailday, we need more snailzz.🐌🐌This is for me one of the nice things on @bsky.app: I regularly discover a lot of beautiful nature art, often from artists of which I had never heard before like here.

FABERGÉ Snail c. 1907 Agate | 1.9 x 2.0 x 0.9 cm (whole object) RCIN 40089 Description A snail, carved in parti-coloured cream and brown agate; a one-piece carving in cameo technique. This snail is unusual because it has been carved in the manner of a cameo, with the different strata of the stone used to define the tips of the snail’s tentacles and distinguish its shell from its body. Text adapted from Fabergé in the Royal Collection Provenance Probably commissioned by King Edward VII, 1907 (the Sandringham Commission); bought by the Prince of Wales (later King George V) from Fabergé's London branch 1909 (£3 10s.) Royal Collection Trust collection.

If National snail day is not sufficient for your snail curiosity, don't worry we will have many more snails in our mollusk exhibit at PRI's Museum of the Earth, opening next week #NationalSnailDay 🐌🦑
