Not sure of ID

Crawling around after rain. In open meadow amongst a patch of narrow-leaved mountain mint.

we went to document a population which Fred Schueler had shared information about

2017 trip location may not be so specific but I believe I saw most of these in this area near mulu village near although they may be near by. I dont remember taking many pics in the actual park.

Probably the prettiest snail I've ever seen.

請教 ID?

Small snail with flattened shell

@tlawson

Maybe Cepea nemoralis?

Collected by E.C. Smith.

One black band present on shell

This specimen was found in an oak and cypress residential area, under a plastic recycling bin, in wood chips. There had been three days of heavy rain.

Acavus sp., perhaps Acavus superbus. Rampart Road, Kotte, Sri Lanka.

Several colour and pattern variations within one population of Cepaea nemoralis.

Naticarius stercusmuscarum

Found in leaf litter on forest floor. No other individuals of this species found in the immediate area. Shrunk back into shell when picked up.

Found in garden in Mkhomazi Valley thicket

I found 7 of these snails in an old pile of construction debris and garbage. I think they really like to eat cardboard; also, a pile of debris mimics the many microclimates of a woodrat nest.
