I hate snails but especially slugs they are so slimy. They remind me of leeches which I don't like either. My sister took this picture of the snail's shell in our garden.
I didn't know that the snail's gut was attached to its shell and that it grows its shell throughout its life. It also cannot survive without its shell. I guess you learn something new everyday. The spiral structure of the shell has something to do with phi (the golden ratio) a mathematical number (amazingly something I vaguely remember from maths).
