California Glowworm (Ellychnia californica)? - Ellychnia californica
Big Basin RSP, Rancho del Oso, Sky/Sea rd., Santa Cruz County, California, USA
June 12, 2011
This was taken within 100 feet of the first organic field, and is also within 30 feet of the creek and it is on a Horsetail Fern.

Do these eat slugs too or just snails, and will they eat European snails?
