A Year in the Valley

Also known as the Slender Amber Snail.  This is a small snail, with an elongated thin shell.  They can be pale or dark, but generally brown.  The final whorl is very large, but the snail does not completely withdraw into its shell, as you can see the shell is slightly raised from the leaf.  It lives near water, in marshes, water meadows, on floating plants, and lays its eggs in water.
