EDITORS COMMENTS
Snailzilla Strikes Again! Meet ASW-4885, the Giant African Land Snail with a Taste for Trouble. This invasive pest may look elegant with its agate-like shell, but don't be fooled by its beauty - it's a menace to agricultural crops and flower gardens in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Hailing from Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, this hermaphrodite herbivore is not your average garden snail. With its nocturnal habits, it prowls under cover of darkness, leaving behind a trail of destruction wherever it goes. But let's take a closer look at this notorious snail's face - or should we say faces? Yes, that's right! ASW-4885 boasts multiple heads that are sure to make you do a double-take. Its eyes peer out from each head like tiny detectives on the lookout for their next meal. While these pests might give farmers sleepless nights, they certainly capture our attention with their unique features. Alan Weaving has managed to capture the essence of this fascinating creature in his photo print. So next time you spot an innocent-looking snail making its way through your garden, beware! It could very well be ASW-4885 or one of its sneaky relatives plotting to wreak havoc on your precious plants.
