Though the
pictures were shot last year, during the season of rain, it was fun following
the snail and this is one of the biggest snails I have seen ever. I watched the
snail trying to pass through an iron handle of a concrete slab at home and it
somehow entered its head and antenna but not the big shell on back. Understanding
the hindrance, it reversed the decision and makes a move above the handle and the
progress was amuse to watch.
Monsoon or rain
brings out numbers of hidden species and we couldn’t have seen a trace of them until
there was constant showering. Many a time I have wondered how these stems shoot
up only when the earth becomes wet and organise lives nonetheless things are invisible.
Though science reveals almost, certain things amazes beyond understanding and I
think that makes life interesting.
Coming to the
snail, it has a wonderful shell coil that goes in shape of cone. I have seen
snails, but mostly bear spiral shells and also smaller in sizes. I observe the
snail’s shell pattern and shade was faded somewhere to make it look little aged,
but I wasn’t sure it was the snail dead dried and stick to the wall days further
from then.

Snails are cool. That shell gives them so much more class than a slug!
