Field Notes

Description:

Slimy and slick dark navy blue body. Has a shell that is brown with some black mixed into it. As seen, the shell makes a spiral form.

Habitat:

Crawling on the ground of the concrete in my backyard. It looked like it was going toward the grass.

Notes:

Was moving extremely slow, even for a snail.

Species ID Suggestions

Comments (1)

Family Zonitidae. Either a Mesomphix species or perhaps Oxychilus draparnaudi. Likely the latter in anthropogenic habitat.
