Description
Meet the Dyakiidae, a family of land snails prevalent in Southeast Asia, particularly rich in diversity on the island of Borneo. These snails are distinctive for their colorful, patterned shells, which make them a subject of admiration among naturalists. Contrary to what one might think, the vividly dressed Dyakiidae are not just beautifying the forest floors; they play a crucial role in ecosystems as decomposers. They help break down decomposing plant material, cycling nutrients back into the soil, an invaluable process for plant growth.
