List of "hothouse Alien" Species
These freshwater species are not truly part of the fauna, because they do not live in the wild. They are tropical, and thus are incapable of surviving in the wild in Ireland; instead they have established themselves as uninvited inhabitants of aquaria within greenhouses, and similar artificially-heated aquatic habitats.
- Lymnaeidae - aquatic
- Radix rubiginosa (Michelin, 1831), native to Indo-China and Indonesia
- Planorbidae - aquatic
- Planorbella duryi (Wetherby, 1879)

and a stenographer’s pad; she will take

like a plastic daisy and put out
the black cat of her sensuous anger
to howl on the fence all night.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
“We returned to our places, these Kingdoms,
But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation,
With an alien people clutching their gods.
I should be glad of another death.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
