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.

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