    Bush snails vs Euro trash brown snails

    Euro's tend to just munch away eating the whole area where they are.

    what kind of damage do bush snails do ? is there MO more of a stripping away of layers of the leaf, flower etc ?? sometimes leaving holes, sometimes paper thins areas are what's left.

    I have one Oncidium that is being attacked but i can't find the culprit.
    no pics yet. TIA

    Jon, you want to field this one? You know, since it worked out so well for you last time.

    Bush snails are good for orchids.

    I find bush snails eat the root tips. The whole green root tip is gone, and concaved inside, on roots out of the mix. That's usually how I know I have a problem.

    I find bush snails in the worst possible place. On the flower, or spike, or bud!
    Hate them....squish them when i find them.

    I'm thinking I have the good kind of bush snails. You all have the bad kind.
