Pomacea insularum
Invasive species. You can distinguish it from the natives by the deeply channeled whirl of the shell. (although not as deeply grooved as the spike-topped apple snail)

Thanks Lars. No idea how that happened. I uploaded from mobile and must have hit the wrong button.
you have put it into the wrong category...
Yes this is not our native species. This is an invasive from South America
That is different than the Apple Snail we have in Florida.
