Field Notes
I am happy because- I accomplished my job. I see, hear, and smell- I see a wetland. I hear a lawn mower. And I smell wet grass. I am surprised by what I found or didn't find because- The snail is so tiny and we are surprised that we caught it that small. Questions and problems I ran into- Why do they live in water? How many colors can they be? And I was also surprised that I found invasive specious.

I think that this is a species of Rams-horn snail. I am impressed too that you were able to find them as they are very small!! Your pictures are very clear - nice work!
