Found it there this morning (not there last night). I left it today, and it’s still there after work. It almost looks like a snail.

How can you possibly say snail when it’s blurry and there’s no shell in view?


Honestly- it looks like a flatworm to me

Looks just like a limpet to me in the first pic due to the shape and form stuck to the glass. A flatworm also won't have a rim like the pic which is the shell. We are all just trying to help.

Thank you guys so much! The snail/limpet left after the night.

I’m glad it wasn’t a parasite or something bad.
