The Taoist sage sleeps tightly,

Cochlodina laminata from the family Clausiliidae or door snails, a small land pulmonate which has a sinistral or left-handed shell, on the trunk of a tree, and I guess that the actual name for this species is Albinaria corrugata, because of its white shell.
Door snails are a family of terrestrial pulmonate snails (Stylommatophora) living on tree trunks, walls and rocks, where they can be seen crawling around in humid weather. Their outward appearance differs widely from that customary for snails, as door snails’ shells are form a round spiral, but are coiled into a tower-like spire, albeit a very small one – door snails usually are not larger than 20 mm.
