Images of landshells by Helmut Nisters, Innsbruck, Austria |
In this gallery some well known species of our major families of landshells are presented, and these complement the species illustrated in previous articles. It is hoped they show the marvellous variety of landshells that can be found. Their preferred habitats and collecting methods were described in these previous articles.
