Pfeiffer’s Amber Snail (Oxyloma elegans), appears to have taken up permanent residence on the edge of my back garden pond. Most days, and for weeks, I have seen it on the rocks or on the Yellows Iris.
i just read that this little lovely can live for 13-17 months, so it may be around for a while. It certainly coordinates nicely with the colors around it, and the striations in the leaves match up nicely with those in its shell. It’s a lovely photo, indeed.
He seems like he would be very much at home on a celery stalk I have in my fridge! Lovely capture!

Thank you, Linda ๐ I really like the way you have picked up the striations ๐ I didn’t realise they lived as long as that, so thank you again!
