A little white ground snail in an atypical place

Click for greater clarity.

Along the same fringe of Spicewood Springs Rd. in far north Austin where I recently found a possumhaw full of fruit, I once photographed this little white snail on the glochids (and one spine) of a prickly pear cactus. The date was August 15, 2011. The cactus is still there, but I can’t say the same for the snail.
