Cabbage with curious snail eyestalks
Has seen you.
A green cabbage sits on a purple backdrop with five snail eyestalks sticking out of its leaves, all looking in slightly different directions. It is not sure about you either.
Field noteA cabbage is what snails eat, not what snails are. This one is both, looking round on stalks for itself.
