Ques bichos são esses?

(E eu fiz um mini hábitat pra eles antes que a mãe decida se vai matar os bichinhos ou não pq eles são fofos demais. 🥺🤏)

Ideias, @obsnaturalistas.bsky.social @malacsoc.bsky.social @malacologicaboh.bsky.social @malsocaus.bsky.social ?

Se não, só aproveitem a fofura.
O mesmo pote de antes, mas visto de lado e um único caracolzinho escalando em direção à luz. O mesmo pote visto de lado, tampado, quase todos os caracóis grudados na tampa em ângulo. Imagem de um caracolzinho no papel quadriculado mostrando concha de pouco mais de 1,5 cm. Só a pontinha da cabeça está pra fora da concha. Pote parecido, mas agora os caracóis estão em uma amostra do solo onde saíram, ao invés do pote estar vazio.

Yesterday we welcomed 70 delegates from 11 countries to @nhm-london.bsky.social for the annual @malacsoc.bsky.social 'Molluscan Forum'! Thanks to my co-organisers and all participants for making it such a friendly & scientifically excellent celebration of everyone's favourite phylum. 😉 🐙🐌🦑🐚
