Land snail
Land snail (Arianta arbustorum) feeding on a leaf. This snail is a gastropod; a class of mollusc with a one piece coiled shell and flattened muscular foot with a head bearing tentacles. The shell protects the snails soft unsegmented body and the snail will retreat inside its shell when alarmed. Land snails move using their muscular foot, aided by the secretion of mucus from a gland in the foot. There are two pairs of tentacles on a land snails head. The larger pair has light-sensitive high eyespots while the smaller pair is used for smell and touch

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of a land snail, specifically the Arianta arbustorum species. The image captures a moment of tranquility as the snail delicately feeds on a vibrant green leaf. With its one-piece coiled shell and flattened muscular foot, this gastropod exemplifies the unique characteristics of molluscs. The shell serves as both protection and shelter for this soft-bodied creature, allowing it to retreat inside when alarmed. Land snails rely on their muscular foot to move gracefully across various terrains, aided by the secretion of mucus from a gland in their foot. A closer look at this fascinating creature reveals two pairs of tentacles adorning its head. The larger pair features light-sensitive high eyespots that help navigate its surroundings, while the smaller pair is essential for smell and touch sensory perception. As an herbivore, this land snail plays an important role in maintaining ecological balance by consuming plant matter. Its herbivorous nature is evident through its gentle feeding behavior captured in this photograph. This mesmerizing image not only highlights the beauty of these invertebrates but also provides valuable insights into their biology and behavior. It reminds us to appreciate even the smallest creatures that contribute to our diverse natural world.
