A boggomoss [spring-fed ecosystem] at Taroom, central Queensland, home to the critically endangered Boggomoss Snail (Adclarkia dawsonensis).

Snails and slugs live under logs, rocks and other forest debris. Some are arboreal [on trees and shrubs].

They are found in:

• Tropical rainforests
• Subtropical rainforests
• Dry rainforests
• Temperate rainforests
• Eucalypt forests and woodland communities
• Native grasslands
• Limestone outcrops
• Other litho-refugia [rocky outcrops]

Rainforest in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales home to many species of snail, semi-slug and slug

Very few native snails have adapted to areas of exotic vegetation e.g. pastures, suburban backyards and plant nurseries.
