🌱☘️🌿 Adventures of a baby snail called Rainbow🌈 as “Robinson Crusoe” - stranded on an island, surrounded by water.

Added some calcium carbonate (similar to chicken egg shell) for nutrition.

150 frames captured at 30-second intervals. Played back at 15 frames per second! 🐌🐚

Kalanchoe with a snail patrol. Snails will eat the leaves, stems, and flowers of the plant, which can quickly damage or kill it. #nature #plants #molluscs #wildlife #gardening #photo #ecology

New paper on transmissable cancers in bivalves, super interesting topic. Unfortunately don't yet have full text copy 😔 https://www.nature.com/articles/s43018-023-00641-9

Ah, and because this is also possibly relevant to #InverteFest, c&p of a toot f mine from a few days ago:

I am becoming a bit frustrated with the lack of resources about drawing animals other than mammals or birds. Can anyone here recommend anything that goes further than just the normal Dynamic Sketching classes? Books, websites, videos, anything?

I mean cats are cool and all but so are #insects, #arachnids & #molluscs, know what I mean?

boosts welcome!
