makrofoto, quadratische nahaufnahme einer sehr kleinen schnecke auf einem hell grünen blatt. es ist nur ihr aufrecht auf dem blatt stehendes haus zu sehen, sie hat sich ganz zurückgezogen. wir blicken von schräg vorne auf die mündungsseite und das zentrum der flachen windung des hauses. das ist rötlich hellbraun mit anflügen von dunklerem graubraun, die zur mitte der windung mehr werden. überall stehen gleich lange, spärlich gesäte, borstige gekrümmte haare ab, in etwa wie bei einer stachelbeere
