[su_posts posts_per_page=”1″ tax_term=”2703″ order=”desc” orderby=”rand”] Also question is, what is the purpose of a snail?
Snails in Ecosystem. Land snails serve an important role in the ecosystem. They eat very low on the food web, as most land snails will consume rotting vegetation like moist leaf litter, and also fungi and sometimes eat soil directly.
Also, what happens when a snail dies? Contrary to popular myths, snails do not crawl out of their shells when they die, though their bodies may fall out the shells. Snails are fused to their shells and when they die the body will fall off but will still be attached to the shell. Foul smells are the first noticeable smell that your snail has died.
Regarding this, do snails do anything good?
Slugs and snails are very important. They provide food for all sorts of mammals, birds, slow worms, earthworms, insects and they are part of the natural balance. Upset that balance by removing them and we can do a lot of harm. Thrushes in particular thrive on them!
Are snails harmful?
Touching the snail or even letting one crawl on you holds no danger, as snails aren’t poisonous. If you like to eat them as escargot, however, you can’t just pick up a garden snail and cook it. Snails ingest dangerous chemicals, such as pesticides and snail bait, as they move through flower beds looking for food.
