My first photo at TN. Xerothricha conspurcata is a small snail with small hairs on the shell, 5 mm in diameter, typical of the Mediterranean region.

On my blog I have some information (in spanish) about this species: http://macroinstantes.blogspot.com

I appreciate any comments or tips on lighting flash.

Regards.

Hi Javier

Welcome to TN
You captured an extraordinairy snail. I've never seen this species before. I like the shadowworking, from the light above. You did a very nice first post, with great details.
Well done!

Thanks for sharing. Thijs
