I'm early for PhotoHunt this week ..
This lot are certainly together !!! Scores of them all over the fence and in the bushes.
What are they ???
They appear to be small snails ..
Staying together may form some sort of protection but not for long - soon the local people will be picking these for the pot and enjoying a meal.Not sure why they are eaten - they are either a delicacy or people have been brought up in harsher times to eat such things when other food was scarce. You do not see many of the younger generation picking these - they prefer food out of the micro ! I do not blame them for that.

SHOTS OF A FRUSTRATED IT STUDENT; TOGETHER
Now that is taking Togetherness into the realms of oddity - would not expect them to collect in such an exposed manner.
I think I would prefer something else to snails but if needs must...
Gerat shots. That spot must really appeal to the snails.
What are they actualaly?
Whoa....this is kinda creepy in a way, yet nature's art! Great photo, and so, so unique for this week.
Stop by and view my two totally different versions of 'together' for this week. Happy Hunting!!!!
How fascinating!
Oh wow! How amazing, and your photos are great. Thanks, I learned something new today.
I did "together" today, too. I hope you can visit and leave your link. :)

How interesting!! I have never seen snails do this so I am fascinated. I agree about eating them, but some people do think they are a delicacy, so who am I to judge?

Happy photo hunt!
Wow! I never would have guessed they were snails. I've never seen any act this way!
By the way...I'd opt for micro dinners, too!
I found your blog by way of Sofia DP...I'm enjoying exploring it. Hope to be back again, too. How fun to live in two places! Me, I'd like to own a home in England. Perhaps when I retire...
That's a very clever photo for this week. :) Well done!
wow! we have some snails in the philippines that can be eaten too but they don't look like that.
A very good post.
It was a total surprise, I didn't know what it was before you zoom in.
I'm French, and I can tell you that young generation doesn't eat that kind of food anymore.
caracoles!?!?!...
I love those... MmmmMmmmMMmmmm
