Hello everyone, good afternoon wherever you are, how are you this afternoon? Hope you are fine wherever you are.
I"m back here again and on this occasion I want to show you some beautiful shots of garlic snail or garlic glass-snail. In Latin, this snail is known as Oxychilus allariaus. This snail is a type of land snail that has a small body. It's so small it's almost invisible. The color is also the same as where he stopped. I found the snail on a dead tree branch.
The color of this snail is very beautiful, namely yellowish brown. When exposed to soft sunlight, this snail's shell shines like a jewel. If I'm honest, I want to say that this is a truly amazing sight. The beauty of this tiny creature is truly extraordinary.
Apart from that, this snail has a very unique characteristic, namely that it smells like garlic, I felt that smell when I photographed it. Maybe the smell was used as protection from enemy attacks. This is the first time I know that snails have a smell like that.
I think the habitat is the same as other snails in general. Namely, snails like damp areas. And snails are also very active at night. They work or look for food at night, during the day they sleep. But what I found was that the snail was walking on the wooden branch. Maybe he wants to move, maybe the original place is not comfortable for resting.
