Myxas glutinosa, la Limnée cristalline (Glutinous snail pour les anglophones), est un petit escargot aquatique d'eau douce. Ce mollusque de la famille des limnées (Lymnaeidae) est en forte régression en Europe et/ou a déjà disparu d'une grande partie de son aire naturelle de répartition. Habitat Cette espèce semble avoir besoin d'habitats où l'eau et les substrats sont exempts de pollution.
Myxas glutinosa (glutinous snail) is a species of small air-breathing freshwater snail, an aquatic gastropod mollusc in the family Lymnaeidae, the pond snails. Anatomy This snail is unusual in that it extends its almost transparent mantle to completely cover the shell when it is in motion, giving the very small animal a glass-like appearance. It also makes the animal sticky to the touch, hence its common name.
