Usually I just think snails are cool looking, plus they get points for being some of the only charismatic megafauna (microfauna?) of the invertebrate world. I even worked on a project back when I was a bio major where I had to count and identify about 10,000 super tiny lake snails, and I didn’t even hate it. But after that serious internet hole I fell into in my last post about shell spirals and slug porn I’m just feeling kinda slimy. Anyway here are some very pretty art nouveau snails to balance out all that science so maybe I can get back to my baseline snail affection without overthinking it.
