sorry. tried to edit and got all uber-posty instead.

More on-topic… my husband thinks this is photoshopped, but that’s just not faaaair. He’s too detailed to be photoshopped. I want to veeeeery carefully pluck him off his raspberry somehow and put him on a veeeeery tiny flower for to munch upon. <3

4 Shawna 09.04.07 at 6:21 am

If you don’t look closely, you might eat him along with your raspberries. O.O

5 Dr Anne 09.04.07 at 6:22 am

Le snails are extremely cute but it does make me wonder if I’ve inadvertently soft kronshed some???

6 The Hon Gladys Anstruther 09.04.07 at 6:27 am

Not a soft kronsh but a crunchy kronch. Blech!

7 Shannon 09.04.07 at 6:32 am

OMG! I’ve never seen anything so tiny. I would have died to see this!!!

8 o 09.04.07 at 6:47 am

too small to be gross, sooooooooo…I guess it’s cute.

9 V 09.04.07 at 7:10 am

rasPberries.

Sorry, pet peeve of mine.

10 acelightning 09.04.07 at 7:27 am

When I lived somewhere that had wild raspberry bushes growing all around, I’d pick berries and make tons of jam and pies and things. I found all sorts of bugs and spiders (which were usually dislodged by gentle rinsing) amongst the berries… but never a micro-snail. That guy is so tiny, he could ride on the head of one of the little fingernail-size green froglettes!

11 me. 09.04.07 at 7:32 am

is thur a lil on on toppp??? zomg.

12 Pogonip 09.04.07 at 7:46 am

Raspberries with protein content! It’s new! It’s two, two, two food groups in one.

In a hurry? Forget “fast food” — get some protein fortified raspberries! Yummmmm.

13 Michelle 09.04.07 at 8:20 am

omg I actually scrunched up into a lil ball and squeeed at that one.

14 Michelle 09.04.07 at 9:00 am

I read the comments talking about inadvertently eating this lil guy… and found myself wondering what l’escargot au beurre fattened on ripe framboise would taste like.

Delicacy! Just a lil nibble!

15 donutbill 09.04.07 at 9:22 am

Gah!! That’s photoshopped. NO snail could be that tiny OR cute, let alone BOTH! It’s just…not…possible…(dies.)

16 happyaddict 09.04.07 at 9:47 am

@_@ I have to thoroughly inspect every piece of fruit I put into mouth now.

17 Mina 09.04.07 at 9:53 am

Theres TWO snails on there. Theres one on the back of it too! SO CUTE!

18 violetgreen 09.04.07 at 11:43 am

You’re right, Mina, and the other one looks teenier! Oh no! You, mean those weren’t raspberry seeds stuck in my teeth?

19 sharon 09.04.07 at 11:48 am

The teenie snails look like they’ve hit the motherload ..

*suddenly hears the “Hallelujah Chorus” break out*

20 NYgirly 09.04.07 at 11:50 am

the snail is cute all by himself, but i’da bin happier if he were say on someone’s finger or next to a bebeh starfish sitting on a micro beach towel under a paper umbrella catching some rays

food + insects* =/= mix EVAR!

(*i know he’s not technically an insect)

*ralphs a little bit*

21 gooeyctr 09.04.07 at 11:57 am

w@w!
(ew)
w@w!

then again, if i think about it from it the tinysnails’ points of view, (i do see a second one on top,) it’s not just being in paradse, it’s being *famous* for having made it!

22 come clean 09.04.07 at 11:58 am

If you’re not watching closely, you get some extra protein with your berries…

23 J. Bo 09.04.07 at 12:31 pm

This is how you know your produce is tasty and organic…

24 Jenniferr 09.04.07 at 12:40 pm

Wow! Micro mini snails. Woo. Maybe that one should be in the Guiness Book of Records.

25 jen 09.04.07 at 1:18 pm

omg when i scrolled over the photo and read it i almost diiiieeeed. too funny!

i’ve only been at work for a few minutes and already i really needed a good chuckle. thanks CO>

26 Kittykandie02 09.04.07 at 1:58 pm

Perhaps the raspberry is gigundous and the snails are normal-sized.

If not, I hope I have not eaten any small snails slithering along my raspberries :(

27 CuteBabyFix.com 09.04.07 at 2:05 pm

Is it perhaps, a Racing snail?

28 AliceTanzer 09.04.07 at 2:05 pm

I have found snails that tiny before. Not on my raspberries, but on seaweed in the ocean. They crawled along my fingertips. :o

29 Subhangi 09.04.07 at 2:08 pm

SO.
TINY!!!

Mmmmraspberries.

30 bugmom 09.04.07 at 2:13 pm

Those snailios are too too prosh!!! However, me thinks the tag on the pic is the best part :)

31 Yitzysmommie 09.04.07 at 2:22 pm

O M G
Quiet gagging here at the YM keyboard – I ate a whooole buncho *unwashed* raspberries yesterday, and now I’m envisioning the possibility of having inadvertently ingested Mr Snailio Iglasias along with the berries OOOH NOES!!!
He’s cute ON the berry, not IN my mouf…

32 A Noun (is a person place or thing) 09.04.07 at 2:37 pm

I demand to know what “bleen” means.

[...sorry, did you say "demand"?? - Ed.]

33 moosette 09.04.07 at 2:43 pm

now i want some raspberries. hold the snails, please!

meg, i suggest a steve irwin tribute today!

34 Theo 09.04.07 at 2:47 pm

Moosette — or possibly Euell Gibbons?

36 Noelle 09.04.07 at 3:17 pm

Totally adorable slimy bit of gritty delight.

37 Wbirdie 09.04.07 at 3:21 pm

how sweet to be a snail
crawling on a razz..em..
if someone bites into me
they’ll probably have a spasm!

38 moosette 09.04.07 at 4:03 pm

theo~ wild foods? that’s the merger between whole foods and wild oats ;)

39 vlohma 09.04.07 at 4:22 pm

That’s a normal snail. The 3′ diameter rasberry is quite disturbing though.

40 Tugs 09.04.07 at 4:32 pm

When I was about 8 years old my pet snail (Tugs) left behind about a dozen cute tiny snails when she disappeared. I honestly can not remember what I did with them. I guess I was traumatized by the loss of Tugs.
:(

41 Annie 09.04.07 at 4:35 pm

Whew is a back east snailio… Ahh I is safe. (Looks closer at shell to be sure) yep my snailios would make a snack of this snailio.. plus consume entire raspberry in one sitting.

42 The Hon Gladys Anstruther 09.04.07 at 4:48 pm

I grow raspberries blackberries apples plums and pears, I look out for little grubs but I’ve never seen these little fellahs.While I am picking most fruit goes from plant to mouth with nery a look, I rely on the rain to wash em. Now how ‘green’ is that.

43 metsakins 09.04.07 at 4:57 pm

Rule 14 rah!

Rule 14!

I loves the rule 14!

44 metsakins 09.04.07 at 4:59 pm

and annie…a back east snailio, like New York east…?

(thinks of several pints o berries consumed over summer from bushes growing outside)

45 metsakins 09.04.07 at 4:59 pm

note to self – wear glasses while berry picking

46 Annie 09.04.07 at 5:10 pm

MEtsie not sure bout if you got that kind in New york but I can say pretty sure that kind is in Michigan..(I have seen them there on the lake Michigan side) Our snails in California have a wider fater shell and it lops over to the side not strait up and down like that.

47 metsakins 09.04.07 at 5:14 pm

actaully I never see snails in my yard only slugs, lots of slugs

*shivers*

48 chanpon 09.04.07 at 6:03 pm

The bebeh snail is adorable! Very relieved I don’t ever buy raspberries.

49 liz 09.04.07 at 7:18 pm

that is cute and repulsive all at the same time.
i dont wanna eat no snails on my raspberries.

50 Annie 09.04.07 at 8:12 pm

Hey MEtsie They go with those tinee Tiny frogs that go everywhere when it rains in the summer. you know the ones, so small they just I think get evaporated up in the air and it rains them and then you find them in buckets and so forth where you know they could not have hopped up into.

51 solveig 09.04.07 at 8:17 pm

Pogonip and everyone else mentioning protein… my mother is a technical nutritionist (no, not the kind that advises about diets but what is in your food and what it technically does to your body…), I’m always freaked out when I eat raspberry jam and it crunches (and it does a lot, bc of the small seeds…) because when I was a kid my mother would never wash the raspberries she picked for jam, she would just say “Protein!!”, and “its boiled so its dead” … eh…. then she learned that after a certain age and with a certain wisdom (mum, can I have the apple jam please??) she started buying pre-washed raspberries…

crunch

52 pyrit 09.04.07 at 8:28 pm

This just in!
Life discovered on Mars!

53 Allison 09.04.07 at 8:49 pm

Whoh. That is one tiny snail-pants.

54 metsakins 09.04.07 at 8:56 pm

so thats where those tiny rogs come from i always wondered why they come out if it rains a lot :)

55 Marie 09.04.07 at 9:37 pm

Cannot say it any better than Golan, except to add a little “awwwwwww.”

56 amby 09.05.07 at 12:54 am

I had tiny snails like him on a few blackberries I picked this year…though my mini-snails had more of a cone-like shell.
I fished mine out of the rinse water and brought them back outside XD

57 Lauri 09.05.07 at 1:58 am

Hooray for you, amby! You must have very good eyes! ;)

I don’t know if I have ever seen a more bipolar peekchur!!!

Super duper cutie snailio with yummy tasty raspberry holio.

65 bugmom 09.06.07 at 12:06 am

Randazzo’s Fruit Market is happy to announce their newest promotion – free mini escargots with any purchase!!!!!

66 Jewels 09.06.07 at 1:51 am

If I were a rasberry, I for one would love to be romanced by a snail of such delectable tininess.

67 oooo 09.06.07 at 2:42 am

So cute! I want to take a picture of it and stick it on my nail and cover it with nail polish coating. Then it can be with me everywhere!

68 harlemgrrl 09.06.07 at 3:02 am

on the snail is a flea wearing a tiny knitted hat. the flea is snorgling a paramecium with dimples. and the paramecium soft kronsches single pink point of light…

69 SPB 09.06.07 at 4:12 am

harlemgrrl… cute. ;)

70 harlemgrrl 09.06.07 at 11:28 am

71 Danyell 09.06.07 at 9:04 pm
