	The common garden snail is a species most notably known to humans as an [[agriculture]] and garden pest, an edible delicacy, and also occasionally a household pet. When it comes to being used as a food delicacy, garden snails are used as the main ingredient when making escargot which is most commonly known for being a special French cuisine enjoyed worldwide. In regards to being considered an [[agriculture]] and garden pest, attempts to reduce damage to crops and other plants have been instilled. Pesticides and other control options such as caffeine and copper are used to prevent garden snails from reaching foliage and fruit to consume. Even other species of snail such as the [[~~decollate snail~~]] are used as predators to prevent garden snails from infesting areas [5].

	''Cornu aspersum'' is native to the Mediterranean region and its present range stretches from northwest Africa and Iberia, eastwards to Asia Minor and Egypt, and northwards to the British Isles. However, the garden snail can now be found in other regions of the world including Australia, North America, ~~Cost~~ Rica, and South America due to deliberate or accidental introduction [3]. Due to their deliberate or accidental introduction in various regions, the garden snail is now cosmopolitan in temperate zones and has become neutralized in regions with climates that differ from the Mediterranean climate in which it originated.

	Garden snails are usually seen at night in the spring, summer, or autumn, but are most active in warm, damp weather. Under these conditions, garden snails prefer to reside in [[compost]] heaps and grassy areas such as gardens, fields, and river banks [8].
