Explore the diverse world of land snails across various habitats.

A snail with a brown, textured shell and extended tentacles crawls across a patch of dirt and grass. Dewdrops can be seen on the grass blades in the background, indicating a moist environment.

Two small snails with brown, spiraled shells are crawling on a large, vibrant green leaf. The surface of the leaf is glossy, with visible texture and veins. The snails appear to be exploring and are positioned apart from each other. The lighting highlights the contours of the leaf and shells.

A small snail with a brown spiral shell is moving slowly along a rough, textured surface with scattered small twigs and leaves. The environment appears to be damp and shaded, with patches of green foliage in the background, adding to the natural setting.

Land Snail Research

Exploring terrestrial organisms through extensive land snail studies worldwide.

A detailed close-up of a snail nestled among rocky terrain covered with vibrant yellow lichen. The snail's textured shell exhibits dark brown and light patterns, contrasting with the rugged look of the stones and the soft, vivid lichen patches.

A brown snail with a spiral shell is moving slowly on a patch of ground covered with dense green and brown vegetation. The texture of the snail's skin is rough, while the shell has glossy, dark brown stripes. The surrounding area is filled with small leaves and plant stems, some of which are slightly yellowed.
