One afternoon when I was walking through the bushes in the village's small forest, I found something interesting on the fresh green leaves. A small, shiny snail was crawling slowly and quietly on the surface of the leaf. The slightly dim sunlight made its shiny shell look like jewelry that gently reflected the light. After getting closer, I realized that this was Tanychlamys indica—a small snail that I had rarely encountered.

Carefully, I attached a macro lens to capture every detail of the snail's movements. Every curve in its tiny shell looks stunning on the camera screen. His movements were slow but determined, creeping along the leaves as if enjoying his little journey. The main challenge when photographing these tiny creatures is maintaining focus, especially because these snails are so tiny and the natural lighting around them is starting to fade.

I took several pictures, admiring the uniqueness of this Tanychlamys indica—its shiny shell contrasted with its soft body. This discovery reminds me that nature is always full of surprises, even in small and often overlooked forms.
