By chance, I spotted these tiny snails in a potted plant at our patch and decided to test out my rarely used macro lense - it doesn't disappoint! I will admit that holding the camera still to take these photos of this tiny creature was rather challenging however. The snail was only a couple of millimeters wide.

Excellent eyesight to pick that up! Would that be a junior common garden snail?
ReplyDeleteHi John, yes it was a lucky to spot it - either that or I would have discovered them once the plant started being eaten away! I am guessing it is a junior version of the common garden snail and not a native one also.
DeleteAmazing! Such a small snail!
