Since the end of January, I have been obsessed with snails.
Usually found in leaf litter in wooded areas, typically along stream courses (Roth & Coan, 1986)
All of the Helminthoglyptidae are hermaphroditic. Some species (Helminthoglypta) reproduce throughout the fall and deposit eggs in litter
or in talus slopes. In northern and central California Helminthoglypta may lay two broods which
will hatch in the late summer and following spring.
