The snail is in the mollusk family and although this species is edible, it is often regarded simply as a pest in gardens and to agriculture, especially where it has been accidentally introduced.

It is native to the Mediterranean area and western Europe, but has been spread by humans, both deliberately and accidentally, to numerous areas all over the world
Notes:
First snail spotting of the Spring near the Provo River in Orem, Utah. Found on the poisonous Myrtle Spurge.
