Apple Snail Eggs

Ampullariidae

Description:

Apple snails are exceptionally well adapted to tropical regions with periods of drought alternated with periods of excessive rainfall. This adaptation is reflected in their life style: moderately amphibious and being equipped with a shell door enabling the snail to close its shell (to prevent drying out while hiding in the mud during dry periods).

Habitat:

Tropical lakes or streams

Notes:

I found several of these pink bubble eggs on a few plants that where on a lakes edge.
