I have noticed some posts where people have been interested in how to find snails.
I thought I might try to start a thread were we can list where we live and where we find snails in our local areas and what species we find locally.
I'm in Toronto Canada a City.
During spring and summer I generally find snails in my back yard in the evening after a rain or if I have watered the lawn earlier that evening, I find them out there on plants or on the yards surrounding fence or on leaves on the ground.
Also out in front on the sidewalk at times during the day after a rain. The snails I find here are cepaea hortensis and cepaea nemoralis, Oxychilus alliarus and Heath snails.
On dewy mornings I can go out around 8 a.m. and I generally stick to one street and I can collect cepaea hortensis and cepaea nemoralis from the side walk and along the sides of the sidewalk on plants or leaves and also pick them off of bush leaves like picking berries, there are so many on the bushes these particular mornings.
