Pila scutata is a species of gastropod belonging to the family Ampullariidae.[1]
The species is found in Southeastern Asia and Central America.[1] However, it has been taken from its native habitat to be used as a food delicacy, control of weeds in freshwater, a component in home aquariums, and as a vector for parasitic larva in the freshwater.[2] This has made it very difficult to determine Pila scutata's true native range.[3]
