How much variation can exist within a species?
Photographed by Craig Cutler, these 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘺𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘢 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘢 shells all came from the same region, yet their striking colors and patterns vary widely. Their beauty has made them highly sought after by collectors, contributing to their declining populations.

Requested by @pegasusunder.bsky.social, today's drawing is of a snail. Because the reference drawing (see below) is black and white, I loosely based the shell on the Polymita tree snail.
Please comment with an animal, object, or city and I'll draw it next.

Cuban Painted Snails (Polymita Picta)
"Their colours come from their diet, lichen and mosses rich in minerals that give the shells these stunning colours. They differ according to the particular mix of plants that each snail has been eating." - David Attenborough
