I hope someone here can point me in the right direction on this one. Back in the late 70s when I was about 16 I was camping with my father somewhere in 'South Central' BC, somewhere near the US boarder as closely as I can recall. Anyway I went for a short hike and in a small bush or tree near a field I vividly recall finding a landsnail that appeared to me to be almost tropical in appearance; it was bright yellow with a dark stripe that followed the whirl. It had a compressed spiral rather like a European Helix, but was smaller likely somewhere between 1-2 cm. I didn't collect the animal or the shell, but I just got to thinking about it and wondered here if anyone might have some idea of what I might have found way back then. Thanks for your help!
