at the mineral expo the stand i fancied the most belonged to an artist making silver and gold jewellery inspirired by nature. She had the cutest rings i've ever seen...

SNAIL RINGS!!!

They were so big it would be probably very impractical to wear them at all

Im slightly phobic of snails, both interested in them and disgusted at the same time. (And scared of slugs. I dont like slugs at all). But aren't they cute???

In the end I decided to choose a much subtler small leaf ring (i think it looks very elvish) and a small garnet one also with tiny leaves on the band

If we didn't always go to the train way too early, we probably would have missed it because Franz absolutely had to rescue that snail.

#it was a helix pomatia. or in german weinbergschnecke (literally: vineyard snail) #it's also one of the most common snails in europe #it is a protected species in germany #(i was also protecting it by taking it off the walk way. so it wouldn't get stepped on -franz) #-wolfgang #about franz

The White-lipped Snail. They come in various colors, but the most common is yellow. The white band around the opening of its shell is its distinctive feature and gives them their name! These snails live in various damp areas, including gardens, woodlands, grasslands, sand dunes, or clifftops. They feed on ragwort, nettles, and hogweed, meaning they're little helpers.

The white-lipped snail's shell is smooth and shiny, with several spirals of varying sizes. It ranges in colour from yellow to pink, brown or red, and has a white band around the opening. Its body is dull grey, usually becoming yellow towards the rear.

This species of snail creates and uses love darts during mating.

A love dart (also known as a gypsobelum, shooting darts, or just as darts) is a sharp, calcareous or chitinous dart which some hermaphroditic land snails and slugs create. Love darts are both formed and stored internally in a dart sac. These darts are only made in animals that are mature enough to breed, and are used as part of the ritual performed during courtship, before actual mating takes place. Darts are quite large compared to the size of the animal: in the case of the semi-slug genus Parmarion, the length of a dart can be up to one fifth that of the semi-slug's foot.

The "Epigeic earthworm" ‘Epigeic’ meaning ‘on the earth’ in Greek. These worms don't build burrows, instead they live on the surface of the soil amongst piles of leaves or compost heaps. They feed on decaying plant matter, leaf litter, and dung. That's because they are weak burrowers, and therefore it's easier for them to live amongst loose organic materials and topsoil. Some also call them compost earthworms, or surface-dwelling earthworms.

These worms are important in composting and are known to rapidly consume and excrete composting material to help it break down more quickly. They are also able to reproduce very quickly, increasing the population of worms within the compost. They are small in size, usually ranging from between less than an inch up to seven inches in length.

They have a dark coloring that enables them to live above ground more safely, camouflaging themselves in piles of leaves or topsoil. Their dark pigmentation also helps to protect them from UV rays. They have strong muscles for their size, which enables them to move faster than other types of worms, which is important as living above ground they are most at risk from predators.

Dexter has always been a very hands-on learner. He preferred to hold things in his gloves instead of reading books. It was easier and quicker for him to understand that way.

That didn't mean he didn't enjoy the occasional trip to the library, however. Books that contained pictures and diagrams were often a suitable compromise.

Currently, he's engrossed himself in one such book. He has it laid out flat on the table and is tracing one of the images with his finger: a crisp photograph of a specimen of Helix pomatia.

He taps the side of his hand on the table, idly looking up. The rest of the library is empty, apart from the clerk working the main desk and another young child sitting at the opposite end of the foyer. Dexter hums, looking at the child with passing scrutiny. Fluffy ginger hair, large glasses, a small and somewhat pudgy stature…

…wait a minute.

His eyes linger on the other for a few more moments before he stands up, a bit more noisily than he meant to. He finds himself caring less and less about his noise level, though, as he steps closer and closer to the other occupant of the room.

"...What?" Dexter mutters, breathlessly.
