So tiny! Quick gloss snails
I came upon a collection of the tiniest snails I have ever seen. I estimate at least 50 in the one location.
With shell diameters of no more than 5 mm, they were truly Lilliputian. The shells being flattened-heliciform.
I learned that they are Zonitoides arboreus, commonly known as quick gloss snails - and not native to Australia but North America.
