Jumping snail

Ovachlamys fulgens

Jumping snail

Adult jumping snails inhabit humid tropical and subtropical vegetation, leaf litter, gardens, and cultivated areas. They feed by rasping fungi, algae, tender plants, and decaying matter with a radula. Despite the common name, they do not truly jump; sudden movements and rapid dropping from vegetation can make them appear to do so.
