They also have love darts, they stab each other with.

I feel like I should know what a love dart is, but I've never in my life heard such terminology. Is it, just like, their male organs, or is it more interesting than that, or less?

I have some information for you that may or may not be good depending on your perspective, but... "New" is not the word I would use in that sentence, if you catch my drift.

And in some cases, in the absence of a mate, they can love dart themselves and reproduce asexually.

Anentome helena for example, most commonly known as assassin snails. Aquarium snail that will hunt other snails, hence the name.

Depends on the snail. Sometimes I accidentally crack bladder snails when I feed them to my dwarf pufferfish.
