Tons removed for being invasive. Population still seems pretty damaged due to my previous removal efforts which is good!

Oh wow, this is interesting. It turns out this apple snail cracked its shell and was able to repair it even though the cracks were far up and not at the aperture which I didn’t know they could do.

Finally found a place where I could catch apple snails during winter! The water was shallow and clear so even though they were hiding in the mud I still could find em.

13 removed- Their populations are extremely low now and any live ones were very lethargic. This is probably because of winter.

Extreme die off due to drought and winter. Didn’t see a single live one. Their population is completely devastated which is very good since they’re invasive.

Largest one found today

Just the ones I was able to clean out- I removed a entire bag of them to help out the environment

I was bored

I actually noticed each lake has it’s own variety of channeled apple snails. Like the ones in Papago park were all very bluish while the ones in Eldorado park were much more brown

Actually much fewer apple snails here than in other lakes. Yes, the water was more murky so I couldn’t see all of them but there were much less eggs.

Massive

Destroyed almost every eggsac I could find. Had to go in above knee deep water though

No live ones seen

No live ones seen but much more egg sacs than last time I came here

45 invasive snails removed along with a ton of eggs!
