Distribution

Distribution of Bulimulus limnoides include:

Guadeloupe[1]
Dominica[1] - Breure (1974),[2] after having compared the type material of Bulimulus limnoides in the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, Paris, France, placed the Dominican taxon in the synonymy of Férussac’s species. Apart from the locality given by George French Angas (1884),[3] the first precise records of this species from the island have been published in 2009.[1]
Martinique[1]
? Saint Vincent[1]

Ecology

Living specimens were found on small shrubs in Dominica.[1]

gollark: £250? As I said before, this seems high.

gollark: Yes, iff I am the maximum rank, above all others, and cannot be removed from it or made not highest in any way.

gollark: It's not a statement about intelligence - as far as I can tell most people have no idea how the fairly interesting technology driving this sort of thing (and basically everything *else* in computing) actually works, don't particularly care, and resist being told about it.↓ below person: this is relevant information which people considering buying it should probably know, so that they can use their money effectively

gollark: No, I mean the predictive text probably will get better at some point because of this sort of thing, and then I suppose you'll just ignore it and assume it magically gets better by magic.

gollark: This is also possible.
