Participatory Science: Be a Mystery Snail Detective! Getting involved is easy and rewarding: Visit the Website: Navigate to our Contribute Mystery Snails landing page. Learn and Equip: Familiarize yourself with the characteristics of mystery snails through our species profiles. Gather necessary equipment and safety gear. Go Exploring: Head to your local lake or stream and start hunting for mystery snails. Check out our location map to see where populations have been documented and where samples are needed. Collect and Document: Carefully collect the snails, take photos, and note down important details such as location, date, and environmental conditions. Aim to collect a minimum of 30 adult snails from each independent water body. Submit Your Specimens: Ship your snails following the instructions listed in the ‘Shipping’ section of our webpage. Each submission brings us closer to unraveling the mystery of these invasive snails.
