226. Conical Spot

(Punctum randolphii) also called Randoph's Dot-shell or Randolph's Dot Snail.  The Dots are a family of tiny, air breathing snails.  Dot snails are presumably called such because of their tiny size.  This species is only 1.25 to 1.4mm across..so tiny indeed.  Leah's photo here is of one on a Bigleaf Maple leaf.

The species must be very common here, this one was found by friend Robert Forsyth, and he found it on the 3rd leaf he looked at.  He looked like he expected to find it on the first leaf.
