Gold Colored Pomacea paludosa From The Lake |
| During a visit to the lake on 10/31/2006 it was discovered that a significant mortality event had recently occurred and thus the shoreline of the lake, as well as the adjacent shallow water, was littered with a significant number of dead and dying Pomacea. Included among this readily available assembly of specimens was a gold colored specimen (pictured below with a specimen of normal coloration). Despite the examination of a large number of Pomacea paludosa over the years, this is the first specimen found by this reporter that deviated from the species normal coloration. |
