Another Reticulate Taildropper! I spied this fellow while I was searching for ‘Shrooms after last night’s rain. The moss is just out side our back door. The snail was between 3-4cm long. Just a little fellow. One of the identifying features are the two dark bands on the mantle. Canada,Geotagged,Prophysaon andersoni,Summer

A Small Land Snail It could possibly be Prophysaon andersonii (Reticulate Taildropper). This little fellow was about 25-30mm long and was on a bench beside the trail. Too cute to be called a “slug”!                            Canada,Geotagged,Prophysaon andersoni,Spring
