Anguispira kochi

Anguispira kochi, the banded tigersnail, is a species of pulmonate terrestrial gastropod belonging to the family Discidae, the disk snails.

The banded tigersnail is a fairly large snail, with an adults typically ranging from 2-2.5 cm in size.

They possesses a striated, heliciform shell, typically yellow, chestnut, or light brown in color.

[4] In 2017, the eastern banded tigersnail was declared critically endangered in Ontario, where it is only found on a few islands in Lake Erie.

Like many snail species, the biggest threat to the survival of banded tigernsail populations is climate change.

Increased occurrences of spring frost and drought, combined with hotter temperatures, can put snails at higher risk of death.
