Note:
The genus Liguus has been called the
most beautiful of all landsnails. Because of the "fragmented"
nature of its natural habitat - isolated hummocks in wetlands mostly in
Florida and Cuba - the most successful species, L. fasciatus Muller, often
forms colonies of "true-breeding" forms, sometimes quite different
even on neighbouring hummocks! Many of these forms have been given names
over the years, and a large Liguus collection will have over 200 of them.
It is now illegal to collect them in Florida, so the ones sold from there,
are almost all "re-cycled", and practically no new specimens
are being collected...although in Cuba the situation is rather different
since government oversight and law enforcement of such matters is far
more lax. |
