Oh, please go out and look ;- ) Joking of course. Nemoralis, in my
experience has fewer bands on the shell and your photo fits exactly
hortentis for me. Other views may vary and I never mind being proved
wrong. I am always up for learning from those who know better, but
for me, it's hortentis.


I'm curious.........how do you and others know so much about snails? I mean,
this is a gardening group.......snails are a PITA. My original post was made
in the hope that someone may just know, but I never expected this amount of
knowledge.

Not uncommon to have apparently conflicting interests. I knew a
professional entomologist whose spare time pursuit was growing
insectivorous plants.
