Can anyone conform or correct my tentative ID of this small snail as Aeogopinella nitidula? 10.7.12 c7mm shell diameter, Wiltshire, UK. nick upton attached the following image:  [101.61Kb] Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |

I now think this is more likely to be the Strawberry snail Trochulus striolatus

Nope, yours is to flat comparing to google images. Anyway, next time catch it and do 3 view shoots, like on my images (seeing doors is crucial for id): http://agrozoo.ne...06bc883730 http://agrozoo.ne...35cf4f23a5 As you see both are 'flat' at top, but the doors are much different + width/height, .... On your images the only thing one can see is flattnes of top. and example of bad image for id, doh beautiful snail:http://agrozoo.ne...69a7588346 Edited by BubikolRamios on 27-02-2013 20:49 highly searchable nature photo galery --> http://agrozoo.ne....jsp?l2=en |
