Rubber Band Snails
The tight little bands in the lower right are the focus of my attention.
They are unlike the others in texture, and line. Clearly transformed beyond rubber-bandness!

This discovery reminds me of a surprise in my sewing drawer earlier this blog-year!
I have the habit of cutting the buttons off my husband's old work shirts before we toss them.
I've accumulated plenty of buttons, all in a little plastic tray I keep in my sewing machine cabinet.
Searching for a spare button one day, moving my index finger among them in search of a specific size and color, I noticed that as the buttons shift the loops of thread that held them to the shirts leave the buttons and travel to the bottom and corners of the tray while keeping that tight little spiral.
Thread snails!
I suspect snails are lurking in unsuspecting places in your habitat!

FYI: According to eHow.com you can increase the lifetime of your rubber bands by storing them in a dark cool place . . . like your refrigerator.
