Description
Seba's Spider Conch (Lambis lambis) is a really big sea snail, up to 11" (30cm), and lives in the West Pacific. Like Giant Tritons, big Spider Conches have been decimated by shell collectors. I borrowed my model from a shell collector, and by drawing it, I hope that some shell lovers will substitute a print of the beautiful shell for the "real thing" and allow the wild, living seashells to be left alive.
