About Wentletrap
Wentletraps are small, often white, very high-spired, predatory or ectoparasitic sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Epitoniidae. The word wentletrap originated in Dutch, and it means spiral staircase. These snails are sometimes also called "staircase shells", and "ladder shells".
