I was amazed by the camouflage to look like the end of a broken stick. When I first saw it land from a distance, I had a hard time finding it upon closer examination of the area.

I think there is an error in the name of this species. It should be Helicostyla smaragdina (Reeve, 1842). H. smargadina is a wrong name, which has spread through some databases. EOL provides both names, Wikipedia too.
It is a green snail. The logic is that the scientific name is smaragdina (Similar to emerald). Smargadina not mean anything.
