Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Everyone

This is @rumanaafroz, from Bangladesh.

Hello friends,
Hope everyone is well. I am well too.
Today I will share with you a photograph of a snail called Oxychilus camelinus.

Oxychilus camelinus is a species of small air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Oxychilidae, the glass snails.

In 1852, Jules René Bourguignat described this species from present-day Lebanon under the name Helix camelina.

The shell is almost flat in shape and light horn-colored. The shell has about 6 whorls, which gradually increase in size. The last whorl is not much wider than the previous whorl and is flattened downwards. The suture is deep. The shell has distinct radial growth lines. The umbilicus is narrow and 1/8 of the shell diameter. The aperture is obliquely depressed.

The tentacles, head, and neck are light gray. The underside is whitish-yellow.

I found this snail in my photography at night in a damp place near our house. Its photos were not coming out well at night, so I lifted it out on a leaf and put it in a box with small holes. After the morning sun rose, I took it out and released it freely on a leaf, photographed it from different angles as I liked, and put the snail back in that damp place.
