We often saw snails crawling in our garden. They are found on the surface of leaves or flowers to search for foods.
This snail could damage plant’s leaves in our yards. Since herbivores, they also feed on:
- algae and fungi
- lichens
- and decaying vegetation
As reported by Russell L Minton and Kathryn E Perez (2015: systematic checklist of the land snail of Louisiana) that there are 141 species of land snails in our state, Louisiana.
However, there are two important snails which believe responsible to “destruction” of our garden.
The two species are:
- Helix aspersa aspersa
- Helix aspersa maxima
They are common snails in the garden. Luckily, they are not poinous, and even not dangerous to touch or hold them. Some people in certain countries eat them as “escargot de bourgogne.”
Other species of brown garden snail such as Cornu aspersum also edible. This species spreads all over the world.
Do you know that garden snails are edible?

We don't see too many snails around here. I doubt if I would eat one!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this information. It’s good to learn about this from you. We have snails, but they don't look like this one.

Hello,

Beautiful shell!
ReplyDeleteSnails aren't a problem in my garden, but slugs are a different matter.They must have arrived with soil that was added to my raised beds on a floating garden. There's no way they could get there any other way. - Margy
