* well, for Ontario, I'd go with Deroceras laeve as a cute and
rambunctious native slug, Anguispira alternata as a biggish land snail
with a spangled pattern in possible decline after flourishing in the
bark of Dutch Elm Disease Elm bark, Bulimnea megasoma as a big aquatic
snail that's in decline in surrounding jurisdictions, and the genus
Lampsilis as a crazy quilt of diversity and hybridization all across the
province.
I've CC:'d our member of the provincial parliament, so we'll see what
action may be taken.
