Macro Photography - Little snail (Oxychilus allarius)

PSX_20231209_193134.jpg

While I was in the chili plantation area a few days ago I accidentally almost stepped on a cute little snail. This little snail has an interesting shell shape with beautiful colors, so I decided to photograph it.

Because the snail was on the ground it would certainly be a little difficult for me to photograph it, especially with the snail's very small size. Finally I decided to take a grass stalk to be a place for the snail to perch.

And what a coincidence, the color of the grass stalks that I took is very suitable to combine with the color of the snail. As for snails, what I mean is part of the snail Oxychilus allariaus.

"Oxychilus alliarius, commonly known as the garlic snail or garlic glass-snail, is a species of small, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the glass snail family, Oxychilidae." Wikipedia.

I have also uploaded several photos of Oxychilus allariari snails below, here are some photos:

What cool photos! Lines from the Japanese classic "Crawl, snail, up the slope of Fuji" come to mind))

Great photos. I love the glossy shine on that shell. Reminds me of tortoise shell eye glasses. Which I guess are still a thing.

This so amazing shot, the shine of the shell is very good.
