Cepaea Query

[WestLothian]

Is this a White Lipped Snail - Cepaea hortensis ?


Here is another one beside a Brown-lipped Snail - Cepaea nemoralis.


P.S. They are not "insects" but I am not sure where to ask and though here was close.

I think you are probably right, though to be absolutely certain I'd like to have them in the hand! There is a white-lipped form of nemoralis, just to make life difficult.

The only sure fire way is to do a genital dissection So I would go for labelling it Cepaea sp. My gut feeling is that it's a nemoralis
