A couple of interesting finds on a beautiful day up in NY (temp. between 65-
70 degrees F)

-a hermit crab in a very fresh Cepaea nemoralis (land snail), first time I
ever noticed a hermit crab in the Northeast in a land shell.  I have seen
some in Florida/Caribbean, where I would say land snails are generally more
frequent and/or washed out to sea more often?

-a decent sized (15mm)  fresh dead,  late-season Haminoea solitaria-  Still
glossy and with periostracum.
