Observation from Instagram typefiend (top of Mt Washington) via #snailblitz:
"I promised myself when I got back from CES and the NAIAS I would allow myself some quiet time in the backyard to look for post-rain flora and fauna.
I was rewarded by this pinkie nail sized mollusk slowly making its way down our moss covered hillside. I believe this is the common Cellar glass-snail, Oxychilus cellarius. Like me, it is an omnivorous eater, feeding upon vegetation, eggs of other snails, slugs, and earthworms. #vscocam #fujifilm #NELA #mtwashington #macro #XT1 #snailblitz"
