Beautiful Slithering Snail

in hive-144064 •  5 months ago 

It was accidentally spotted on decayed log, a tiny snail that lives there unnoticeable. It happened, after I took a closer look and I saw this beautiful slithering snail calm which immediately drew me to take some macro shots, only extreme macro device was able to cover it. As it did not move fast, I could pick the leaf to the light space which allowed me to be able to produce some clear shots. I little did that and try to stay on the proper ISO, in consequence, I would miss the focus. Nevertheless, this snail was worth a shot as it is also considered as a part of nature that needs to be exposed. This snail is large and bulky with soft shell that can be distinguished from mature adults by the presence of lateral stripes and included in the colorless group slug, though very sticky, and it lacks a keel. It is generally seen in any well-vegetated area, including gardens. I assume, it just got its new shell that may cause fragility if I touched.
