Hello folks
Just come across a picture I took in August, which I thought I'd share. 
It wasn't until I looked a little closer that I saw something I'd never seen before. 
I think it's a baby snail. |

thats very good. I always thought snails were like hermit crabs that took on an older shell rather than growing their own!  |
