So would a Dragonfly nymph be a good form of snail control?Assuming you can find one.

 

[SoulFish]

well it will turn into a dragon fly and start flying around your house, so id have to lean on the now side

 

[FroggyFox]

It was eating snails?? Crazy. That would freak me out...well all know how fond I am of bugs

LOL have dragon flys swarmming the inside of your house.

They'd be a treat for some Archer fish or cichlids When they get close to the water.

Alien looking. Looks kinda like "the Bug" off of MIB
