Staying Hydrated
The tiny snail understands the importance of drinking lots of water to stay hydrated in the very hot weather.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Drips, Drops and Splashes'.
I purchased a small anthurium houseplant a few weeks ago. The 'flower' is actually a specialised leaf known as a spathe and the central yellow spike is the spadix that holds the tiny true flowers arranged in a spiral. The spadix on this plant was just under 3cm tall.
There was no problem in getting a water drop to balance on the tip of the spadix - what took more trouble was getting the snail to do something amusing before it knocked the water drop off (and I had to start over!).
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
