Snail feasting on my Moringa tree!!!
Since some days now, I noticed that the leaves of my moringa tree are being devoured by an intruder! But I could not find who it was...
Finally today, while walking around , I found who it was! I caught it red handed!!!
Yes, you guessed it right my friends... This is the snail who was having a daily feast on the leaves of my moringa tree!!!
When I saw it today, it was like sleeping but glued to the tender parts/leaves of the tree!
Hmmm...I waited for a couple of minutes and finally I saw it waking up and started some amazing movements on the branches!
Despite the damage caused, it made me happy admiring this lovely creature!
Did you know that most snails have thousands of microscopic tooth-like structures located on a banded ribbon-like tongue which works like a file, ripping food into small pieces!
Despite being known as slow movers, I found it moving rather quickly from branch to branch! Really very nice to watch!
This must be a very healthy snail indeed...having eaten such a healthy leaves for nearly one week now!
Healthy snail!!!
Finally I broke a branch from the moringa tree and let the snail free in the nature!
I hope it does not come again with some friends this time and devour all the leaves!!!
I hope you enjoyed watching these pics same like I enjoyed it live today!

Great pics! the snail is beautiful. It's kind of you to release it back to nature. I was really expecting that snail to wind up on a dinner plate by the end of the post!

Hey @nijhum, trust me you will not succeed like that. Asking for follow and vote is not the way forward here on this platform.
Work for it, earn it, you'll see the difference.
I advise you to not make such comments in others post, you'll be flagged and this will not be good for your own reputation.

Oh no! Snails were eating my strawberries this year. Last year, they ate my experimental broccoli plant :-(
Oh that's really sad to hear @playfulfoodie! They can really do so much damage to our crops these snails!
And they always eat the best parts!

Im surprised you didnt eat it :p
Hahaha! I've infact only tasted snails only once in my life! I did not like the texture!
My wife loves them, in soups! It's so famous in Morocco!
Ieh, in soups? That's sounds super weird! I wouldn't want to see a dead snail swimming in my soup hahahaha!
I've tried them once with a on of garlic. Which was probably why I didn't mind the taste. But indeed the structure and the thought of it being a snail really killed it for me!
Bon apetit my friend!!!hahaha!
Snail soup from Morocco
Oh my god are you trying to kill me ahahhaa
