EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a laver spire snail, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the remarkable details of this small creature's shell and its unique defense mechanism. The snail, known as Hydrobia ulvae, possesses an operculum located in the lower right corner of its shell. When threatened by predators, it can skillfully seal itself inside by pulling a plug over this opening. This ingenious adaptation serves as protection from potential harm in its estuarine and coastal mudflat habitats. At just around a centimeter in length, this diminutive snail may appear unassuming to the naked eye. However, under magnification at x18 on a 6x7cm scale, its vibrant colors and delicate features come to life. The vertical composition of the photograph allows for an immersive exploration into the world of these fascinating invertebrates. Mollusca enthusiasts and nature lovers alike will appreciate this stunning portrayal of wildlife found within brackish environments such as estuaries. With its careful attention to detail and scientific accuracy, Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into the wonders of our natural world.
