Garden snail. View of a garden snail,Helix aspersa,on the shell of a larger snail. Snails are univalve molluscs found on land and in freshwater. The common garden snail lives in non- tropical areas all over the world. It feeds on plant and vegetable matter. In Europe,predators such as thrushes and blackbirds keep the garden snail population in check. Also cold winters limit their breeding to the warmer months. In Australia however,warm winters and the lack of predators have led to the garden snail becoming a major pest. The garden snail is eaten as a delicacy in many countries | |
