This caught my eye as it was so dark, and the shell is flattish. It was on the stem of evening primrose about 3ft up. Anyone ID please?  |

Thanks. It's body was really black; and the shell had iridescent patches, very attractive in the sunshine. All the strawberry snails I've seen before were much paler and pinkish with silver-grey bodies. |
