EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the unexpected aftermath of a garden snail indulging in an unconventional beverage - beer. The Garden snail (Helix aspersa) can be seen here, seemingly intoxicated after sipping from a beer trap. Snails and slugs are naturally drawn to the yeast present in beer, making it an organic alternative for trapping these pests instead of using harmful chemicals. In this snapshot of nature's quirks, we witness the fascinating intersection between biology and alcohol. This single mollusc showcases its resilience and adaptability as it navigates through its yeasty indulgence. Its gastropod body language suggests a state of contentment or perhaps even slight disorientation. While some may find humor in this scene, it is important to recognize that this image sheds light on effective pest control methods without commercial implications. By utilizing beer traps, gardeners can protect their plants while embracing environmentally friendly practices. Photographer Ian Gowland has masterfully captured the essence of this yeasty encounter within the realm of zoology and fauna photography. Through his lens, we gain insight into the intricate world of invertebrates like never before – showcasing both their biological tendencies and our ability to coexist harmoniously with them. Overall, this photograph serves as a reminder that even small creatures like garden snails have their own unique stories to tell if we take a moment to observe closely enough.
