A Glass Snail (Zonitoidae) on a tree trunk in Gamlingay Wood, Cambridgeshire, England. Very small, less than 5mm across with a highly translucent shell.

Possibly a Shiny Glass Snail (Zonitoides nitidus - Muller, 1774) based on the discription of habitat and distribution found in A Guide to Snails of Britain and Europe Pfleger and Chatfield, ISBN 0600557898. It seems to be the most common Glass Snail found in woods in souther England.

Keywords: Snail, Glass Snail

Oxychilus alliarius, determined 04 June 2011 by Francisco Welter-Schultes. Z. nitidus would have a black animal. O. cellarius would be larger at 3.25 whorls.
