The small air-breathing or pulmonate land snail Cochlicella barbara crawling on a leaf. This species has an unusually high-spired shell compared with others in the same family. The shell is about 7 or 8 mm in length. This species is originally from Europe, but was accidentally introduced to Australia, where it has become a pest on grain crops. This individual was photographed in New South Wales.
