Carpe Diem “Little Creatures” #15, Buson’s “Mud-Snails
The Tanishi “mud-snails” are about 1 inch long. They out compete, native snails, mussels, and clams in America and Canadian because they eat literally anything.
Not familiar with these snails, i just wrote about the tiny ones in my garden.

These are really cute. The last one is a lovely description (lichen branch) and equally lovely juxtaposition of life (fat snails) and death (rotting branch). 🙂

These make a lovely set – they read like the highlights of a snail’s busy day 🙂 Really well captured
