or last whorl of the shell (if a gastropod - even if tall spired) is less
than 5mm in size. The smallest molluscs reach around 0.6mm in adult size,
but many larval or juvenile stages are smaller. While we use the term
'micromolluscs' for species that are less than 5mm in maximum dimension as
adults, this is clearly arbitrary."
