Field Notes

Description:

There were two snails who appeared to be mating? Well they were stuck together. They were large with beautiful shells. Near the ocean, but not on the beach.

Thank you Will6! It seems that these also carry some sort of Lung disease and are very invasive to both Florida and Hawaii.
