Thats interesting Alice! I haven't seen these to often!
These are what the Limpkin feasts on. I still have some shells that I collected on a small penisula in the middle of Florida. So nice to see one with the snail in it. It is called the Apple Snail as Lori said.
Thank you Lori!!
It's hard to say for sure just from a photo, but that's my first impression.
Lori my daughter found one about 2 or 3 years ago less than 2 miles away at a camp site in the forest area on the Withlachoochee river near the bridge., http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/665...
Do you think this is a similar snail?
It is ~2 inch's long and 1 inch wide.
Looks like an apple snail. How big was it? http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/misc...
