Thanks to Bored Panda for this introduction to Vyacheslav Mishchenko’s stunning snail photography.

What’s especially fun is the Daily Mail piece with the shots leading up to the kissing snails shot. Yes, you read that correctly. Kissing snails. I’m not even going to quibble with the Mail’s description of the snails “locking lips.” (Snails have lips?)

(The photographer is also on Facebook, for those who want to see more of his work.)
