A brown-shelled terrestrial snail, approximately 1

A brown-shelled terrestrial snail, approximately 1.5 to 2 centimeters in length, is observed in a close-up, macro view. Its shell features distinct dark brown longitudinal stripes over a lighter brown base. The snail's grayish-brown body is extended forward from the shell, displaying two prominent optical tentacles. The snail is positioned on the green stem of a cactus or succulent plant, which is characterized by numerous sharp, needle-like spines. These spines are light brown at their bases, transitioning to lighter tips. One such spine is visible directly beneath the snail's body. The background and some foreground elements are blurred due to a shallow depth of field, emphasizing the snail and the immediate section of the plant. The scene is located in the city of Herceg Novi, Montenegro.
