Field Notes

Description:

Shell approximately 4" in length.

Notes:

The biggest snail of this species that I've come across since living here. A real nuisance in the garden destroying our landlady's fruit and vegetable crops. *** Wiki -- This snail is listed as one of the top 100 invasive species in the world***
