Species of the Month: August 2014

Garden Snail: Cornu aspersum

 

Although this species is probably present in every garden in south east Wales, we hold less than 500 records of Garden Snail. This species of snail is pretty unmistakable, with its large matt brown shell. More information on the ecology of Cornu aspersum is available on NatureSpot. You can view the Wales wide distribution on Aderyn.

If you spot this species during August (or at any other time of year) please send us the record, ideally via SEWBReCORD or the LERC Wales App. Instructions on how to submit records are available here.
