During a terrestrial mollusk survey on 9/1/2015, a Daedalochila auriculata population was discovered along US-1 about 3.1 miles northwest of International Golf Parkway, St. Johns County, Florida. At this location, US-1 spans a swampy area (part of Twelve Mile Swamp) and Daedalochila ariculata (both living and empty shells) were found on both the east and west sides of the road. Additional surveys of the area between 2015 and 2018 revealed that the Daedalochila population extends for an uninterrupted distance of about two miles along US-1 - extending from at least Stratton Road on the south to near Hilden Road on the north. | |
