Though I failed to get a clear photo of the underside of this snail, I’m fairly sure it’s a Strawberry snail (Trochulus striolatus) as it shows the ‘coarse growth ridges running across each whorl’ and had the deep umbilicus typical of this species. It also looked very attractive sitting on the blossom, though it seemed an odd place for a snail to be.
