Last night I dusted off the microscope when I noticed a tiny visitor had hitched a ride on the back of one of the dogs!

Maybe I'll start bringing back Microscopic Mondays if this post gets a little traction!

Shrink Ray activated!

Say hello to Mister Snail!

He was not a fan of the light on the microscope. I had to keep chasing him around.



A video of him showing great displeasure at the miniature sun that is shining in his face.


Admit it, watching the mucus ripple is weirdly fascinating.

A close up of his shell! It reminds me of a Boulder Opal.

Boulder Opal under the microscope for reference:

What do you think? Similar?

The logarithmic spiral of his shell! I had to wait for him to move his foot to catch this one! You can still see it in bottom right receding!



Speaking of, we should get a closer look at his adorable little foot!

Now, the grand prize for marveling at the snail with me: A four minute long video of him moving to recede into his shell. It is strangely soothing, like watching water ripple. Enjoy!
