Snail On Wire
This snail (I think it was just a shell) was on a decaying (and probably non functioning) guard from people driving off the road and down the steep bank. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > A Second Trip to Japan > Amanohashadate > Snail On Wire

The light was coming from behind (not counting the reflector) so you can see the detail inside of the pedal. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2022 to 2005 > October 2007 > Surfing Up The Underside

Stripes On Head
I'm not sure anything in this frame is in focus. It's surprising just how fast a snail can move. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2022 to 2005 > October 2007 > Stripes On Head

Motion Blur Snail
I don't have a good snail guide book (I have never found one), but Robert Forsyth seems to be working on a snail guide book for BC. He was kind enough to offer his opinion on this snail photo: Hi John, I've taken a look at your photo. It is a haplotrematid (family Haplotrematidae), and is a half-grown individual. Not being able to see more clearly some fine details of shell micro-sculpture, I cannot be entirely certain of its Identification, but I'd say (about 85% certain) that it is Haplotrema vancouverense -- the Robust Lancetooth snail, a common (and one of the larger) species of land snail along the BC coast. Hope that this helps. Regards, Robert Species: Haplotrema vancouverense (Robust Lancetooth)
