Looking for an ID on the snail pictured. I assume some type of bumblebee (always find them on the end of a vermitid), however they don’t match the pattern like in stores and all I have seen are very very small.

Also, long shot here without a photo, but what would this be:

- Was swimming like a mosquito larvae, but was about half the size and diameter (maybe width of a hair and 3mm long)
- Attracted to my light
- Was worm like but very cylindrical and not a flatworm as I have seen.

Anyone have a good link for common larvae or parasites?

2 of the 3 snails pics below look like they could be Bumblebee snails, but the 1st one looks quite different. Any chance you could put in a container of tank water and get closer up, clearer pics of it, under white light, preferably with a black background? Pics of the top, sides, and bottom would be useful.
