How terrible are African snails?

After finishing the photo album, I turned to the snails I took in the summer vacation.

I remember that after dinner, I met two big snails on the roadside. I broke a leaf, picked it up and took it to the roof to be a model.

I didn't know it was an African snail. I put it on the roof and took photos. Snails climb much faster than I thought. I saw him sticking out his tentacles, slowly sticking out his head and climbing to the edge.

The first time I saw the teeth of a snail, it was disgusting to look at the lines on the skin at close range, but I felt a little cute when I looked at them.

I like to photograph everything I see. What I picked up this time is not a good thing. After I took some photos, I checked whether it was a snail or an ordinary snail. All I know is that I picked up two big African snails.

My friend told me not to touch it. It is poisonous and snails are pests. ...

Its food includes crops, trees, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers and other plants. When hungry, it also eats paper and companions' corpses, and even eats and digests cement, which can harm more than 500 kinds of crops. This species is the intermediate host of many parasites and pathogenic bacteria, especially tuberculosis and eosinophilic meningitis, which is extremely harmful after eating. African snails can lay 30 to 700 eggs at a time and reproduce rapidly.

The day after the rain, a snail basically took two steps on the road, slowed down and observed carefully, as if he had broken into the snail kingdom.

I don't think snails are terrible, but the breeding speed is really amazing. Even when I took pictures, I felt a little cute, so I had the following series. ...

Advance at a speed visible to the naked eye

A little curious, I carefully observed where the eyes of the four tentacles on its head were.

I have an interesting photo. There is a small snail under the big snail, much like a snail family.

Such little snails are everywhere, and I accidentally stepped on several.

Are snails really terrible?

I don't know much about African snails. I met by chance and felt a little indulgent, so I patted it.

Do you know anything about snails? What do you think, snails are cute or scary?
