AKA Decollate snail SC91 - Miracle A miracle for me because we almost never see them any longer. In the last 30 years 80% of small animals in nature are no more to be found... The decollate snail (Rumina decollata) is a predatory snail that feeds on other snails, slugs, and the eggs of various land mollusks. Despite the fact that it will occasionally consume plant material too, this species is well-liked by gardeners because it keeps gardens free of more destructive snails. Decollate snails burrow into the soil to ride out cold or dry conditions.
