Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822) Mating Pair |
| This mating pair was collected in the drainage ditch just south of the concrete box culvert on 8/16/2005. Upon their capture the female (bottom specimen) apparently had second thoughts about the whole affair leaving the young male specimen in a precarious position. The small size of some of the mating males indicates that the species reaches sexual maturity at a very young age. |
