Here are two land snails, both alike in dignity. No, wait. That’s the Montagues and Capulets.

These snails live on land (which is the very low bar for defining a land snail) but there are distinct differences between them. (1/12) #snails

Snail with a white, round shell with a tall spire, and translucent body crawling over a leaf that has been pre-nibbled, probably by something else. The shell has rounded whorls. A thin, flat, round operculum is tucked between animal and shell. The snail has two long, tapering tentacles and relatively big black eyes at the base. The head tapers into a snout. It's shaped a bit like a clothes iron if an iron was a snail, which is a Disney cartoon yet to be created. Leptopoma perlucidium (Cyclophoridae): Queensland, Australia. © Dee McMahon CC BY-NC https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/174050229 Massive unit of a snail crawling over a fallen tree trunk. The shell is big and round and could probably hold a decent mug of tea, if the snail wasn't using it. The shell is brown with some faint black blotches towards the pale apex of the spire. The body is pinkish-brown. This snail has four tentacles, all black and all held in a way that makes it look as though they are being blown back by the wind. The two upper windswept and interesting tentacles are long and have eyes at the tip, whereas the lower ones are short olfactory tentacles.

Mii'chelle approves of the dahlia we brought back from Quarry Lodge today.

Its a really lovely place; pretty flowers, lots of pumpkins, and best of all the cafe serves scrumptious cake.

Still don't have a name for the little purple mystery snail. Nothing seems to quite fit. 🤔

She's growing well & looking gorgeous. 🥰😍

Mii'chelle found a cool spot by the pond & is admiring the bud on the water lily. 🪷

She *may* have had an unintentional swim but I'm she'll be fine when she's dried out 🫣🤣

This is Atlas; a ramshorn snail that managed to fight its way against the current of the outflow pipe all the way to the goldfish tank!

It travelled over 140cm Against The Flow Of Water!!

She's been my mascot, muse, cheerleader and main motivator for nearly a decade. And she hasn't hardly aged a day. 🥰

Beautiful sunny #snailsnunday ;
Xanthe being adorable ❤️🐌

Question; what do you call Snails where you are?

I found out this week that in some parts of Norfolk they call them Hoddy Ma Dodds.
Isn't that fantastic?! 🥰

Hope you've had as relaxing a Sunday as possible?

Time to down tools and curl up with a new book now though. 😊📚

I'm not a huge fan of KL onstage, but I enjoyed Part 1 of this afternoon's BBC Radio 4 adaptation.

And I'm delighted this line was retained, of course:
'I can tell why a snail has a house' (1.5)

And there's an excellent 2008 episode of #InOurTime about the play featuring Catherine Belsey and Katherine Duncan-Jones - two much missed scholars - and Jonathan Bate.

5. This is a sad one
Using long-term monitoring data since 2019, we showed that one population of akaleha' luta (Rota tree snail, Partula lutaensis) and the only known Rota population of akaleha dilikao (fragile tree snail, Samoana fragilis) are shrinking

Here's Xanthe enjoying a slice of cucumber for breakfast. She'll very sensibly hide under her cork log for the rest of the day. Smart snail. 😊

Back with a crowd favorite, the Oval Ambersnail (Novisuccinea ovalis)! Although, I seem to have caught them mid-coitous this time 🙈 just a little peek for #snailsunday (if that's not a thing, I'm making it one now).
