Description
Photography.
Thus began our war against the snails. It started with one squash plant, eaten by a multitude of the critters. Then my wife noted it had become a trend. The legend was that they would be put off/out by acid, so a barrier of coffee grounds (Starbucks, I think.)was sprinkled around the vegetable garden. The thought was, a secure snail barrier was formed. Alas, not so, for more morsels were munched, by groups of them mobbing one single vegetation victim. This was what I think drove my wife full against them. In snail wars, snail farmers are born. Recipes anyone?

I fight many "garden enemy" with garlic - prepare some lotion: water and crushed garlic it helps to keep them away.

A curious or proud snail you have. Excellent capture. I have no solution as they are not troublesome here where I live.

Might try a can of beer. It works for slugs. Pour the beer into a container. Cut the can in half. Bury the half that can hold liquid up to the lip and fill it 3/4 of the way with beer. Slugs at least are attracted to the yeast and are either killed by the alcohol or drowning or both. Seeing how well your photos of this one have come out, I am almost wishing the remedy does not work. Almost. hehe Very lovely photos. :)

I'm thinking the caffine might make them munch quicker! plus they might not sleep as much. Intriguing capture, the DOF rocks!!

A nice capture. I like snails and slugs, and will pick them up and let then crawl in my hand. I know - creepy for an adult woman.Of course I live upstairs and none have seen fit to travel up to my plants. :)
