Succinea, common name the amber snails, is a large genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Succineidae. [2]
Species in this genus usually live in damp habitats such as marshes. The common name refers to the fact that live snails in this genus are translucent and similar to amber in appearance.

Ecology[]
Parasites of Succinea spp. include:
- Elaphostrongylus spp.[11]
Succinea consume small plants such as mosses as well as leaf litter. Specifically is known to live in leaf liter, and is also known to be attracted to light, an unusual characteristic in snail. [12] In mating, the snails are hermaphrodites and mate reciprocally (both snails transfer sperm into one another), however many have preferences in what role they take - some actively seek out mates, mounting the others' shell, while others do not. [13]
