Round-mouthed Whorl Snail

Vertigo genesii, common name the round-mouthed whorl snail, is a species of small air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc or micromollusc in the family Vertiginidae, the whorl snails. Like many other land snail species, Vertigo genesii has a high affinity to fen habitats, a type of wetland fed by mineral-rich ground water. Based of fossil records, genesii and other relative snail species were distributed in central Europe during the Later Glacial and Early Holocene period.
