Snail project - day twenty one

Filed under: Snail project

Pics on day twenty one. Notice the well developed shell. These buggers are almost ready to “hatch”.

A slight difference in development. Notice the velum (part of a band of cilia called the prototroch) still present in some larvae. These larvae remind me of butterflies, due to the velum shape. The brown “thing” above the capsule is a flat worm.

Here is a close-up of a bigger speciment of flat worm.
