Fringed Slitmouth (Stenotrema barbigerum) Under a fungus-filled log in a moist, dense mixed forest understory. I think there is an arthropod photobomber here too :P<br />
<br />
Small, brown, terrestrial snail with long, coppery hairs on its shell surface. Many scientists hypothesize that these hairs are an adaptation for movement through wet habitats. NatureServe lists Stenotrema barbigerum as G3/G4 (Globally Vulnerable). On a national level (in the US), S. barbigerum is listed as N3N4 (Vulnerable). <br />
