The apple snail is a common freshwater snail, native to South America, and has been widely introduced to Asia, Europe, Africa and other places.

The shell color of apple snails is usually yellow or brown, with uneven black spots distributed on the surface. They are relatively large, often much larger than other freshwater snails.

The apple snail has a significantly larger head, black eyes, and a pair of antennae and a pair of jaws in its mouth, allowing it to sense food and potential threats in the surrounding environment.

They usually live in the water, but will find suitable spots on the shore when laying eggs and breeding. The apple snail is an omnivorous animal that feeds on plants and aquatic animals, such as aquatic plants, algae, insects and other small animals.
