#malacology — Public Fediverse posts

After a recent storm, I spotted a tiny speck on the glass of my front door. I thought it was a leaf, but I decided to take a closer look...and I've never seen a land #snail this small. (I have absolutely NO guess as to genus or species...) #backyardnature #malacology

In the Western Science Center’s current #snail exhibit “Life in the Slow Lane” our gold Inca snails (Pomacea bridgesii) laid eggs a few weeks ago, and last weekend they started to hatch! We now have numerous ~1mm long baby snails!

New blog post!

So how does a snail that is limited to fresh water habitats spread across an entire continent, before people were around to carry them?

I missed writing a blog post last week. It was the snails' fault. So...many...snails!

I need help from the hivemind for a #snail identification. I have 6 of these shells, modern, no locality data. I pretty sure it’s a naticid, possibly Neverita lewisii. Am I on the right track? Thanks!
