Description
This snail belongs to the "Trochulus" species.
It prefers wet conditions like after rain and lives near the edge of the forest.
It's hairs are needed to get a better hold on wet, slippery leafs when following its prey.
It would be a lot of effort for the snail to go all the way up again if it fell from the leaf (about 1m) so nature gave it this hairy grip.
--many thanks for your interest and comments--

"haarige" Schnecken habe ich noch nie gesehen! Wo "leben" die? Ein sehr schönes Foto von diesem ungewöhnlichen "Tier"
