The Liguus Tree Snails of South Florida

Shells of the Liguus fasciatus tree snails display a stunning rainbow of colors, from pink, powder blue, and deep orange to chestnut and black, in patterns ranging from subtle to complex. Fiftynine named color forms exist, and variations within the forms bring the total of distinct varieties to almost 80. The author identifies all the various forms and their localities in this book.
