Description
The island applesnail (Pomacea maculata) is native to South America but has become dangerously invasive in Europe, Asia, and North America. It lives in shallow bodies of fresh water and consumes large quantities of aquatic plants. They can be neurotoxic to birds that try and eat them, and they spread algal toxins that have detrimental effects on the surrounding aquatic environment.
