Description
Description
The lip, or opening, of the white-lipped snail's shell is almost always white, giving it its common name. It's common in gardens, although sometimes its large numbers cause it to become a pest. And while people can technically eat this snail, it needs more preparation than others since it's known to consume fungi that break down dead animals.
