I remember seeing lots of these when I lived in Silicon Valley. The snails climb the thing, then die and their shells stick around and bleach in the sunlight.

It turns out that Helix snails in California are literally descendants of escargots; they’re not native, but were introduced to supply French restaurants, then escaped.

Looks to me more like escarstopped

Cook them well so you don’t get rat lung worms that become human brain worms.
