Today's film is with Jake Stone who is an entomologist and works at the John Innes Centre. Jake explains how snails move. It is worth pointing out to children that a snail isn't strictly an insect, it is a mollusc.

Discover how slugs and snails move using their specialised foot and wave-like muscle contractions, supported by a unique slime that acts as both lubricant and elastic aid. Learn about their fascinating locomotion methods and how their slime leaves traces in the morning, revealing their nightly journeys.
