From photographs alone, it seemed to me for many years, that the process of ingesting a worm was very slow. This video dispelled that notion. However, native worms are slower moving than the much more common European earthworms of which the snail would be less likely to get a feed. Col, B. of. I, NZ.

I thought our European salad-munching snails were a bit disgusting, flaccid, slimy bugs; now that I've discovered there are carnivorous snails, something which might have came out an horror B-movie, I can see ours with a more benign eye.

So someone edited this footage and decided it needed that shi-wooosh explosion foley that's been used in absolutely everything. Because worms explode when eaten.
