Dear Art and listers,
I join the several players who have reported favorably on Bill's excellent
images.
To assure Art and others who may think our local wentletrap fauna is limited to
these (three) taxa, I append a list of all 24 the N. E. Florida Epitoniidae
found by us (Jax Shell Club) in the past 25 years:
