Pacific sideband snail

A large Pacific sideband snail craws slowly through a damp mossy area in a forested area near Roseburg, Ore., on Monday, Feb. 21, 2012. The Pacific sideband snail is endemic to the Pacific Coast of North America from southern Alaska to northern California. Although their range is large, the snail is vulnerable to habitat loss and fragmentation.

I used flash on a synch-cord for fill lighting on the slow moving fellow.
