Daedalochila
auriculata (Say, 1818) Ocala Liptooth Large Specimens
Adult
Daedalochila auriculata can vary significantly in size from one
location to the next as well as within a single population. Over the
years the largest specimens have been found along County Road 13
near Bass Haven Lane on the east bank of the St. Johns River just
north of Picolata in far western St. Johns County, Florida. The largest
specimen found thus far measured 18.35 mm. and was collected on 10/24/2015
and may be the largest Deadalochila shell ever recorded.
