This morning, I looked at my Snails, and found a tiny one!
Thinking it was a baby of a larger species, I researched it, to no avail. Then I finally turned to my books, and found that it was Moss Snail (Cochlicopa Lubrica)
From the book:
Moss Snail
Cochlicopa Lubrica
The blunt-ended, conical shell is glossy, translucent, and pale to dark brown. The snail is common everywhere in Britain in damp places including dead leaves, grass and under fallen branches, as well as among mosses. The body is pale brown. Shell size up to 1/4 in. (6 mm) long and 1/8 in. (3mm) across.
