Description
This species has a medium-sized shell which is smooth and white, and measures up to 16 mm tall. Albinaria caerulea usually occurs in large numbers, however numbers can fall sharply if there are predators around such as birds. The estimated life of a snail of this species is around 7 years.
Range & habitat
Albinaria caerulea lives, like most Albinaria species, on limestone substrates in semi-arid habitats, and aestivates on limestone rock-surfaces covered by lichens, algae and mosses.
