Facts about snails
Snails are common garden critters that exist almost anywhere. There are two main kinds of snail, sea snail and land snails. Their appearance might not always be pretty but snails are actually amazing creatures.
A typical land snail, smaller in size can live up to 3 years. The largest snails can live up to 10 years in the wild. Land snails are herbivores and feast on leaves. They are considered pests as they get into peoples private gardens and consume home grown vegetation. There is even a type of snail like creature that lives close to volcanoes and survives off molten rock.
Sea snails are herbivores that live in the ocean and feed of algae and kelp. They have the most interesting designs on their shells and are a wonder to behold but please avoid contact as these animals are fragile and could die if tampered with.
Snails also produce a unique type of mucus that has been used in various skin care and cosmetics to promote healthy skin and aid in anti- aging.
Words of motivation and wisdom.
There is a saying common among practicing Buddhists ‘The first arrow always hits...’ The first arrow is an event that can cause harm, pain or stress. But it isn't over yet, usually there is always more to come. There is a second arrow. The second arrow brings more pain and suffering. The second half of the phrase states ‘Do not let the second arrow land.’ this is your response, how you choose to handle the situation and how you grow from it.
Hummingbirds.
Hummingbirds have unique, impressive flight abilities, such as being able to fly backwards and upside down. These small birds have big appetites due to a fast metabolism, and can consume up to 12 times their bodyweight in nectar every day. They are often highly territorial and fiercely guard their own patch of flowers.
Their wings beat so fast that at times it appears that they are simply floating in mid air. Being upside down does not only apply to movement they also sleep upside down like bats.
