Yesterday I returned to my Cepaea nemoralis survey grounds near Frederick, MD to check up on the snails after an almost 2-year break.
I encountered several dormant snails partially buried in the damp soil. Obviously, neither the dampness nor the unseasonably warm weather (air temperatures were well above 10°C) were enough to wake them up.
