Apple snails, native to South America, are invasive species that harm ecosystems and agriculture. Recognizable by their large shells and pink or orange egg clusters, they destroy aquatic plants and disrupt local wildlife.

These snails breed rapidly, with each cluster containing hundreds of eggs. They spread across warm, wet environments, threatening crops and ecosystems worldwide.

To control them, report sightings, manually remove eggs, and promote awareness. Gardeners should be especially cautious, as these snails can devastate plants. Act quickly to protect local environments from this invasive threat.
