On the 19th of August, after a morning of persistent rain, I returned home from work for lunch (as usual and, crawling on the grass, by our front path, was the specimen illustrated on page 9. I’ve often seen lighter than usual coloured examples of Helix aspersa in the garden but never as pale as this one. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this specimen was like this – could it be down to diet or is it some sort of albino form (the body and general morphology is exactly the same as every other specimen I’ve ever seen). Thanks in advance for any help! Jonathan Welsh |
