And like the previous occupant of the post, I seem to be mislaying some species. We don't need snails after the Flood, do we, I seem to have dropped Helicidae overboard?

UK Garden Snail (Cornu aspersum) is the most common mollusc in the UK and probably the greatest garden pest. As a keen gardener I can definitely confirm that fact!

#gardenphotography #naturephotography #nature #garden #gardening #gardenpest #snail #gardensnail
Wikipedia: "Cornu aspersum (syn. Helix aspersa, Cryptomphalus aspersus), known by the common name garden snail, is a species of land snail in the family Helicidae, which includes some of the most familiar land snails. Of all terrestrial molluscs, this species may well be the most widely known. It was classified under the name Helix aspersa for over two centuries, but the prevailing classification now places it in the genus Cornu. The Garden Snail is relished as a food item in some areas, but it is also widely regarded as a pest in gardens and in agriculture, especially in regions where it has been introduced accidentally, and where snails are not usually considered to be a menu item.

Pseudochloritis insignis is an extinct pulmonate snail from Miocene Germany. It was originally described as "Helix insignis," but then was moved to Pseudochloritis. Later, Pseudochloritis was moved out of Helicidae (the escargot family), & into Elonidae as a close relative of Klikia

What does an epiphragm remind you of? The operculum.
Functionally, anyway.

The two structures have different origins. The operculum is attached to the animal and is secreted by specialised cells in the skin.

The epiphragm can be ditched when it’s no longer needed. (6/14)

Three discoidal snail shells. Two are placed with the spire up and the third with the spire down. The two placed spire up are white, whereas the underside of the third is a rich, uneven orange. That third shell is the one we're interested in. Its aperture is covered in a thin oval plate vaguely marked concentrically. (If that's a word.)

die grunzschnecke (cantareus apertus, Helix aperta) ist eine schnirkelschnecke (helicidae) und heisst so, weil sie durch schnelles auspressen von luft aus der mantelhöhle beim rückzug ins haus ein knarren oder grunzen von sich gibt, wenn sie gereizt wird 😍

MR新着。食用陸貝養殖業界で𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘹 𝘢𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘢 Parfitt, 1874と呼ばれる「亜種」の起源は依然として謎であったが、今回これを検討し直したところ起源はモロッコ北東部で、プチグリ（ヒメリンゴマイマイ）𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙣𝙪 𝙖𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙪𝙢 (Müller, 1774) の独立した亜種ではないと推定された。
doi.org/10.1080/1323...

この「亜種」は外套縁が黒いことが特徴で、既往研究ではそれ以外の全てのプチグリと姉妹群であるとされていたようですが、その見方は正しくないとのこと。いわゆる広義のエスカルゴの中でも、まだ決着のついていない問題があるのですね。

The visceral mass is the internal organs bundled up and coiled in the shell. You generally don’t see this unless you’ve accidentally stepped on a snail or have escargot for dinner. Some of the organs (mostly digestive gland) are visible in the shell spire here. (2/15)

Yellow snail with a big round but thin shell. The snail is crawling across what looks like consolidated soil with grass growing out of it. The snail shell is thin enough to reveal some of the internal organs of the visceral mass coiled into the apex of the whorl. (Although some of that detail might actually be pigment in the tissue. But let's just assume it's viscera.) Cantareus apertus (Helicidae): California (introduced) ©brymalplants CC BY-NC https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/261493806
