White Garden Snail, Theba pisana (Mueller) (Gastropoda: Helicidae) by Jane E. Deisler, Lionel A. Stange

“…Theba pisana shows a strong proclivity for climbing up and into freight for aestivation and is difficult to detect. This snail can survive long and arduous journeys because of its ability to form a wall of dried mucus, called an epiphragm, in the aperture of its shell which reduces water loss during dormancy. …”
