Helix Aspersa

Helix Aspersa or Cornu Aspersum is a terrestrial mollusc.

Cornu aspersum, known by the common name garden snail, is a species of land snail. In English texts it was classified under the name Helix aspersa for over two centuries, but the prevailing classification now places it in the genus Cornu.

Cornu aspersum is native to the Mediterranean area and western Europe, but whether deliberately or accidentally, humans have spread it to temperate and subtropical areas world wide. Snails may be eaten as '''Escargot. '''The picture above is an example of a Helix Aspersa or Cornu Aspersum. It may be a Muller species. It lives approximately 3- 5 years. The species lay 30 - 100 eggs, fewer than compared to Achatina Fulica , Which lays about 600 eggs a year.
