common Indian apple snail

<em>Pila globosa</em>, commonly known as the common Indian apple snail, is a freshwater gastropod mollusk in the family Ampullariidae. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species is noted to occupy both terrestrial and aquatic habitats, reflecting the amphibious life history typical of apple snails, which can survive periods of drought by aestivating in moist soil. Apple snails in this family are generally found in tropical and subtropical freshwater ecosystems, including ponds, rice paddies, rivers, and marshes. Specific country-level distribution data are not detailed in current records. Diet information for this species is not available in current records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
