tiny snail on pink buttercup

#snails #buttercups #SnailsOnButtercups

A very pink translucent buttercup after the rain. A tiny snail is snailing* inside it, moving towards the edge of the petal. Really tiny, no more than 2mm in diameter. It is the moment I first saw it. Later I watched it having a short interaction with an ant, sliding around, feeling the world. Before leaving my parents' house I went out again and I saw it was back inside, sleeping in the heart of the flower. Tired little one.
*snailing: being a snail

Same snail, same flower, side view of the outer side. The little one is out.
Does it look like a pink butterfly with a spot? It does. There's a very long and green bud in front of it and blurry plants in the background.

Fingers for scale. Also because the day was not just rainy, it was windy. I am holding as softly as I can the flower. A pink petal with red veins that come out of a yellow heart. The minisnail is there, I don't know if it could sense my presence and my interference with its chosen home.
