I spent five hours with friends on a field trip looking for mantids, beetles, plants and moss specimens. A sunburn and 200 mosquitoes bites later, all I found were these lousy snails and their eggs everywhere... and possibly Dengue fever. 😕

One of my neighbors in NE Florida sent me a pic of this dead specimen she found on her property. She's seen more in her bushes. I'm certain it's not a Heterochaeta orientalis... any ideas? It's approximately 2-3 inches. The picture quality may not be clear enough to be useful.

I recently mated a H. orientalis and she laid an ooth today. I can't confirm the mating was successful... I was in the hospital when mating occurred but it was witnessed. Any suggestions how long should I wait before attempting to mate her again?  Thanks!
