There'll Be a Slime for Us
The little snails feared their love was doomed - their parents didn't approve of their inter-species romance that (at best) could only produce sterile hybrids, thus making the pair reproductively isolated. But unlike their counterparts from West Slime Story, these lovers managed to elope...
For Macro Mondays theme 'Heart'. A short piece of covered wire was bent around to form half of a heart 4.5 cm wide. This was mounted on a sheet of black Perspex with a small amount of Blu Tack (removed in post-processing). Two little snails were placed onto the heart, one at each end, and allowed to crawl towards each other. It took a number of attempts with different snails - they were quite happy to crawl over each other, but I really wanted them to interact in some sort of 'meaningful' way!
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
