Snail trail on sandstone
Here is a snail trail on a sandstone outcrop, with tiny crustose lichens. It's like a sugar glaze on a doughnut - but it's a slime trail instead! It has interesting oil-slick iridescence, and you can even see some reflections of the trees and sky in the upper-right. I'm not sure if it's the same kind of snail, but I have this photo of our most common native terrestrial Shoulderband Snail (genus Helminthoglypta, Helminthoglytidae, Gastropoda). This is my photo for the Macro Mondays group, with the theme of "Glaze". HMM! (San Marcos Pass, 7 April 2017)
