Monadenia fidelis

Also known as Pacific Sideband Snail, Fidelis Sideband

Pacific sidebands glide through foggy Pacific Northwest temperate rainforests, feeding primarily on fungi, mosses, and decaying forest litter. Their shell features a rich chestnut brown base accented by a distinct dark band sandwiched between lighter yellowish stripes. During summer droughts or freezing winters, these snails seal their shell opening with a protective layer of dried mucus to conserve moisture.
