how do we feel about very small snails?

many land snails are very small, even some smaller than these, but they’re easy to miss even if you’re already accustomed to looking for tiny invertebrates.

these are different Vallonia species but I’ll need a different angle of the shell for a good ID. At ~2mm, both are full-sized adults; you can tell by the peristome (lip) at the aperture of the shell!

a contender for the most beautiful snail I’ve met: this exquisite Helicina from Costa Rica, which was delightfully abundant where I found it.

at only around 7-8mm long, they would glide around on green leaves like little jewels. I’m happier now knowing that these exist in the world
