SNAILS ATTACK!!!

It's not a secret, **Mauritius is quite full of greenery** *(despite the heavy modernisation recently)* and at nearly everyone's house, you'll find some kinds of trees, plants or flowers.

![IMG_20210131_214305.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTutZU3HT6sqyu9oKapUWk2JbEkhrCDagNvgr11ADGft2/IMG_20210131_214305.jpg)

***
It's like a culture here, which is simply great!

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

At my place, it is mainly mom who plants here and there, ranging from flower plants, herbs, small veggies.

*We don't have large space for trees though!*

## The snails attack!!!

And when we you have cute little plants around...looks like the snails invite themselves to the party!Lol!

***They are the first to enjoy and feast on the beautiful plants!***

Yesterday it was raining for couple of hours...and once it rains...you’ll see them all around!

![IMG_20210201_074632.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcqRnw8eDPELXKEReF4Mi6v2dmkYpezq3WKz5ZWgDjtVs/IMG_20210201_074632.jpg)

I was wondering how this one managed to get over there on such a height!

🤔🤔🤔

Time to investigate!

## Snail paparazzi !

I spent like two hours...studying their moves!

I crawled down with my mobile phone ready to shoot and followed their movements literally!

😂😂😂

It is so amazing watching them move...i kinda enjoyed looking at them!

![IMG_20210331_150903.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQZQc6gnvBBenQYKoUVrVTzzhZZSmTpZDz26T2WJKJmW4/IMG_20210331_150903.jpg)

***
## The Grail!!!

After 15 minutes of climbing and crawling...it must be like 'getting hands' on gold for this lovely snail!

***Ps. I was so impressed by its effort that I let him feast in tranquility!***

![IMG_20210331_150956.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQma8VfTmPxeoq187Lqi3Y4XSgQ3tGUdQ6ffru47oLQwyzD/IMG_20210331_150956.jpg)

***

During my 'snail investigation', I also discovered them changing their shell...

But this is another subject that need more time to study!

*Would be great if someone knows little bit on the 'snail shells' could share their knowledge on the comments section below!*

## They were everywhere...

Looking around...they were just everywhere...

Here's another type feeding on the aloe vera plants, he's a super healthy snail for sure!

![IMG_20210111_182816_edit_672377821901047.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTmPjUy3bJ3yqdmLw88ePbmUteUUR41TRfGXPNoYFfJhy/IMG_20210111_182816_edit_672377821901047.jpg)

***

In the end, i just took out the snails that were on the herbs/veggies that we usually use in our cooking at home.

If I let them there...they would finish them all!

Here's my mint and thyme plants free from snails!

![IMG_20201213_181353.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVb9vGL4gPf3cLrB7S3x1cabixwjAxYe7Matsv5XAn2Zb/IMG_20201213_181353.jpg)

***

And those on the flowers plants...

Gave them a chance and left them as if I didn't see them!

***Ps. Mom will be shock next day for sure!!!***

But as long as my herbs and veggies are safe...I'm happy!

![IMG_20210131_214219.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXZ7KKKB5FoDdD6xGnNgvioeuJDkQmr8ksFSs9xk5TNFd/IMG_20210131_214219.jpg)

So here's my first contribution to the **amazing nature** community!

Looking forward to share more on my crazy investigations soon!

Stay tuned!

Thanks so much for reading and the support!
Be well, stay safe!
And always have fun...life's short!
