description Lake Limpet (Acroloxus lacustris) Overview

Acroloxus lacustris, the lake limpet, is a small freshwater gastropod in the family Acroloxidae. It has an elongate, cap-shaped shell with a sharp apex twisted to the left and is usually found attached to submerged stems and other aquatic plants in still water. The species is part of the Eurosiberian freshwater fauna, and adults are only about 4 to 7 mm long, so shell form and habitat are important for identification.
