Why do snails appear after rain?

Snails are mollusks and belong to Polypodiaceae. They like humid living environment.

In daily activities, you should use a lot of mucus with high water content to peristalsis and keep your body moist. When the weather is dry, they will hide under shady walls, roots or grass, shrink the meat into the snail shell to sleep, and seal the opening of the snail shell with mucus.

Once it rains and the ground is wet, the rainwater is poured into the snail shell to soak the mucus at the opening of the snail shell. It will wake up the dormant snails, because this is also the most favorable weather for snail activities. So there will be a phenomenon that snails appear in groups after the rain.

Life is short. The life span of snails is generally 5-6 years. Under uncomfortable living conditions, it will accelerate the death of snails and shorten their life span. Snails are terrestrial mollusks with high edible, medicinal and health care values, and their edible and medicinal history has been more than 2000 years.
