At first glance, the bumblebee-striped snail may seem quite innocuous.
Clea Helena is endemic to the freshwater lakes, rivers and reservoirs of
Southeast Asia. It grows up to 1.2 inches in length and can be found
burrowing around in soft mud or aquarium substrate, waiting under the
surface for approaching creatures with its mouth and feeding tube
sticking out.
Rather innocent-sounding, yes? Not quite! There's a good reason
Clea Helena is better known as the 'assassin snail.'
