      Check out the two hirsute species in our local forest!
      Fringed Slitmouth (Stenotrema barbigerum) Under a fallen hardwood branch in a moist valley/mixed forest understory. <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 /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/104940/fringed_slitmouth_stenotrema_barbigerum.html<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/104943/fringed_slitmouth_stenotrema_barbigerum.html Fall,Fringed Slitmouth,Geotagged,Stenotrema barbigerum,United States

      Shagreen (Inflectarius inflectus) Under a fallen hardwood branch in a moist valley/mixed forest understory.<br /> I originally thought this was an old, worn Stenotrema barbigerum, but I just ran across this species and it is a much better match! Still tentative and waiting on other contributors to this ID.<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/109753/shagreen_inflectarius_inflectus.html Fall,Geotagged,Inflectarius inflectus,Shagreen,United States
