Lissachatina fulica is a species of large land snail that belongs to the subfamily Achatininae of the family Achatinidae. It is also known as the giant African land snail. This snail species is being considered a significant cause of pest issues around the world. Internationally, it is the most frequently occurring invasive species of snail. Outside of its native range, this snail is thriving in many types of habitat in areas with mild climates. It is feeding voraciously and is a vector for plant pathogens, causing severe damage to agricultural crops and native plants. It is competing with native snail taxa, is being a nuisance pest in urban areas, and is spreading human disease. The species is native to East Africa but is being widely introduced to other parts of the world through the pet trade, as a food resource, and by accidental introduction.

Psidium guajava, commonly known as the common guava, yellow guava, lemon guava, or apple guava, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. It is being cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Guava fruits are ranging in size from as small as an apricot to as large as a grapefruit. Various cultivars are having white, pink, or red flesh; a few varieties are featuring red (instead of green or yellow) skin. When cultivated from seed, guavas are notable for their extremely slow growth rate for several months before a very rapid acceleration in growth rate takes over. From seed, common guavas are blooming and setting fruit in as few as two years or as many as eight. Common guava (Psidium guajava) fruits are being observed on a guava tree, and an oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) is sitting on the fruits in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 8, 2024.

Vitis vinifera, commonly known as the grapevine, is a species of flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region, Central Europe, and southwestern Asia, ranging from Morocco and Portugal in the west to southern Germany and northern Iran in the east. Grapes, a major global fruit crop, are used to produce wine, juice, raisins, and fresh fruit. Of the 5,000 to 10,000 Vitis vinifera varieties, only a few hold commercial importance for wine and table grape production. The grapevine also features in the cosmetics industry, valued for its antibacterial, antioxidant, and skin-conditioning properties. Winemaking has utilized this vine since around 5400-5000 BC in the southern Caucasus region. The Romans' regular consumption of wine facilitated the spread of winemaking throughout Europe. An image captures a young unripe green grapevine plant with grapes, common grapevine leaves, homegrown in a garden, with some grapevines climbing over a balcony in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 20, 2024.
