30 Cepaea hortensis faeces. Pennine foothills, V.C. Derbyshire, England. September 2018.

The varied colours of the faeces reflect the diet of mixed organic detritus and soft living plant material.
Conservation of water is important for land molluscs such as C. hortensis so faeces are quite dry. Faeces and excreta leave the mantle cavity with the exhalent current out of the pneumostome.
