Re: [APD] aquatic snails- can they go terrestrial?



I would guess it's some sort of insect- a grasshopper, locust, beetle, etc. 
Terrestrial slugs can also get to airborne leaves if leaves are touching 
the edge of the tub. You could check the tub after dark, and see if there 
are any snails on the leaves then.
