Comments | See voucher photo. This sighting represents a second recolonization of this stormwater retention pond following drawdown to eradicate koi, goldfish, and other introduced fish in summer 2004. Since then, periodic visits were made to the pond to look for presence of either fish or snails but none observed. A last visit was about three seasons ago. May be a subspecies (C. c. malleata). |
