Amber Snail (Smaller-size)

Habitat:

On several different leaves of plants near a creek.

Notes:

According to the Living World of Molluscs, http://www.molluscs.at/gastropoda/terres..., "Of all native terrestrial snails, amber snails have the closest connection to water, but still they never actually live in the water, though they may live on plants growing there. Amber snails have got a thin walled translucent shell often amber coloured, whose spire usually is very small compared to the huge apertural whorl. An amber snail's aperture rim is sharp and there is no apertural lip. In this regard, amber snails are similar to pond snails (Lymnaeidae). Between different populations there may often be extreme, even hereditary, differences in size, which sometimes makes the determination of species very difficult."
