The charm of small gems in the wet forest

Among the rotten wood chips and wet bushes soaked by the morning dew, suddenly my eyes caught something that looked mysterious walking on the wood chips. The mysterious creature was very small, almost invisible. It was a Coneuplecta pampini snail, its body looked transparent as if made of clear jelly.

The snail was not alone there but in a group, the number was so large that it was uncountable. They were walking on the wet wood chips, continuing to crawl very slowly without making a sound, let alone singing. The appearance of the snail was very beautiful like a living gem that held a million wonders in silence.

This Coneuplecta pampini snail is one type of snail that lives hidden under piles of leaves, dead trees and wood chips like the one I found. Behind its small body and thin shell, this snail has a very important role in managing decomposition and recycling of nutrients so that the forest remains alive.
