Bithynia troschelii (Paasch), a species until recently regarded as a form of Bithynia leachii (Sheppard), was found in small artificial ponds in Skaryszewski Park in Warsaw in June 2014. The snail was abundant in two out of the five studied water bodies of the park. The two ponds were the only ones to become dry in winter. Snails of the genus Bithynia are able to survive periodic drying of water bodies.
