Four volunteers experienced the arrival of a dramatic cold front (see below) during this survey, which turned the morning from warm and humid to clear and cool. The pond snails illustrated here belong to a family with a rather unusual feature: their shells spiral left-handed, or sinistral, unlike most snails which have a dextral, or right-handed twist.
