Common land snail

Look who Jon found in the blueberries. SEEK called it a Common land snail. Who knew they like blueberries? Well, this one is wrapped around a couple of berries. Maybe it's just holding on there, but it was too curious to not show you. It's up about 4 feet, I wonder how long it took to get up that high. See its antennas. Are they called antennas? Better go check Wikipedia. Be right back...
I copied this: Land snail is the common name for terrestrial gastropod mollusks that have shells (those without shells are known as slugs). The majority of land snails are pulmonates. That is, they have a lung and breathe air. Land snails have a strong muscular foot; they use mucus to enable them to crawl over rough surfaces and to keep their soft bodies from drying out. Like other mollusks, land snails have a mantle; and they bear one or two pairs of tentacles on their heads. In most land snails the eyes are carried on the first (upper) set of tentacles (informally called 'eye stalks'). The second (lower) set of tentacles act as olfactory organs. Both sets of tentacles are retractable in land snails.
Ahh, not antennas, tentacles. OK. That's about all I need to know. You can look it up, if you want more.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
