[overdoso]

Em caramujos, geralmente do gênero Succinea, os vermes parasitas da espécie Leucochloridium paradoxum assumem o controle das funções motoras, "invade" a cabeça e pulsa dentro do animal com o intuito de se assemelhar a uma lagarta para que o animal seja comido por pássaros dando continuiade ao seu ciclo de vida.

Amber Snails p.1

(white-eyed snails)

amber snails, or succinea snails, can range from dark shells to lighter ones, bright orange to silvery, and a very small amount can have white eye stalks! in this post i’m covering these.

here’s a couple of snails with white eye stalks. they’re very rare, and i’ve only found about six out of what must be the ~200 amber snails i’ve found in total. shell color and brightness variations apply to these guys too!
