Apple snail

Freshwater lakes, ponds, marshes, and slow-moving streams, often in tropical and subtropical regions.

Herbivorous and detritivorous, consuming aquatic plants, algae, and decaying organic matter using a rasping radula.

Possesses both gills and a lung for breathing air, allowing survival in oxygen-poor water. Females lay distinct bright pink egg clusters on emergent vegetation above the water line.

A major invasive agricultural pest that devastates rice crops and transmits rat lungworm. Rarely serves as a food source in certain aquaculture settings.
