Tellins have always been another colorful favorite to find.  Having never
really studied them, I found many difficult to distinguish.  However, the
digital revolution has changed all that.  Now able to get a good look and do
direct comparisons, I'm finding it rather easy to tell many apart.  I just
finished a comparative examination of the three common Florida Scissula
(similis, iris and candeana).  Here're the images:

would be happy to hear from others with first-hand collecting experience
and/or comments.  If anyone has photos of live specimens to share, please
contact me.
