I have marked this sighting as significant as it is the first sighting from the ACT on CNM of this local native carnivorous snail. I hope we see more of these sighted in the future. Thanks for the sighting Tim and Marcus.

Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting of the snail on a path in ANBG's Rainforest Gully.

A question in relation to this sighting via Facebook: "How can we tell this snail from the zillions that infest our gardens?"

Hi Matt. Sorry, I'm no expert on snails so can't comment on the query. Perhaps Trevor can comment? Tim
