#Snail #Caracolus #sagemon (#Solaropsidae, #Sagdoidea, #Helicina, #Stylommatophora, #Gastropoda) is widespread in #Cuba and a popular terrarium inhabitant. It is predominantly nocturnal, primarily frugivorous, and—as a #terrestrialsnail—frequently exhibits a need to #bathe. I have documented a #mating encounter both through video and as #photoseries. Here two primary #bodypositions of both partners.

The #snail #Arianta #arbustorum (#Helicidae, #Gastropoda) is a land snail (#Stylommatophora) that is quite common in #Berlin, especially in urban #forest areas. However, the snail is flexible in terms of its #ecological requirements and can also be found in open areas. It is widespread in Central Europe and northwestern Europe and primarily requires #moisture. It also appears in #mountainous areas of up to 2700 m. #biodiversity #Mollusca

The #terrestrial #pulmonate #gastropods (#Stylommatophora, Gastropoda) have two pairs of #retractile #tentacles, an #apomorphy (#evolutionary innovation of the stem species) of the higher taxon Euthyneura. The rear pair of tentacles is elongated and has #eyes at its tips.
My photos show them in a close #macro shot using the Mediterranean #snail #species #Cornu #aspersum (#Helicidae).
