Snail project - Day twenty five

Filed under: Snail project

The snails are fully developed juveniles. They probably chewed their way through the capsule. Notice the small hole in the middle of the capsule. In every capsule I saw (over the years), the hole appeared on the same spot. Even when the capsule is deposited, there is an interesting flat circle on top of the dome, some sort of a cap maybe. It would be interesting to learn how they know where to puncture through. Chemical queue, physical (flat(ter) surface…?
