Close-up of a Snail with Black-and-White Striped Shell Climbing an Iris Stem at Night

Description

Against an inky night background, a snail crawls leisurely up a plump, vivid green iris stem. Its spiral shell has black-and-white stripes, with a light brown sheen on the edges; the shell surface is smooth and translucent, as if reflecting faint light. Faint traces of moist slime left by the snail’s crawl on the stem add a touch of liveliness. Beside it, yellow iris petals unfurl with distinct striped veins, forming a striking contrast with the green stem. Blurred yellow flower silhouettes in the background further enhance the clarity and serenity of the main subject. The snail’s slow crawling posture imbues the image with natural leisure and vitality, as if time slows down, fully showcasing the mollusk’s ease and the plant’s vibrant beauty.
