[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The common garden snail, Helix aspersa, belongs to a group of organisms called Gastropods. They are part of a larger group called Molluscs, which includes clams, oysters and shellfish. Typically they have a soft body with a protective hard outer shell.
For the gardener these are seen as a pest and there is now encouragement to introduce natural predators, such as lizards, birds, possums, frogs and centipedes to control populations, rather than poisons.

The introduced species by human activities also threaten many exotic but beautiful life forms existing only in Australia
