Abstract
In this paper we report an observation of an interesting behaviour of the Roman snail Helix pomatia. Two groups of several dozens of individuals were found in a beech forest in the Veľká Fatra Mts. (Central Slovakia) on May 2014. Both sites had an open tree canopy with sparse and low herbaceous vegetation. Approximately 25–35 individuals per 20–30 square meters were found there, while several pairs of them were attached with their feet together. This observation brings several questions related to species behaviour and reproductive strategy.
