Today i saw a large number of live and dead Liguus in the far end of a park
in the florida Redlands area - South of Miami, in a habitat that seemed
rather odd for them. It  was a large open pine flatland with saw palmetto
and dry scrub that appeared to be a large area that had been burned or
cleared some time ago that was slowly regrowing but very warm, open, dry.
Nevertheless there were live Liguus there, one in particular seemed out of
place...clinging to the trunk of  a pine tree that was the only tree within
many yards. There were also several on the small scrubby plants...The
forested areas on either side of this large clearing were loaded with
Liguus, including many on the sides of the trees that were facing the open
area, and quite exposed to the sun. is that a typical habitat for Liguus? i
thought they stayed to the deeply forested areas.
