Field Notes

Description:

Found this little snail on my harvested swiss chard when I was cleaning it. He was so fast and I had to keep repositioning him on my finger to get a good photo. I placed him back outside on the chard.

Habitat:

Urban veggie garden.

Reference Links:

Helix aspersa Muller, 1774, Helix aspersa
