Under valley oak logs. What a weird Helminthoglypta!

With Chalon Boesel. Albino glass snail, presumably the widespread Draparnaud's Glass Snail. Normal-looking Draparnaud's Glass Snails were also seen at this site. Riparian woodland along Campo Creek, under small willow logs in wet soil.

Found with Dave Goodward (@davegoodward) near Campo Creek.
We found a total of three Helminthoglypta.
Two of them were H. tudiculata:

The other is a currently unknown Helminthoglypta, Dave's observation of it is here:

With Chalon Boesel. We were on a search for a unknown snail in Campo reported by Miller years ago. I thought this was possibly an immature H. edwardsi, but when I got home and looked under the scope, it proved to be mature and had the incised lines of a traskii group snail. Perhaps this is H. traskii isidroensis? Or Miller's mystery snail? It doesn't look like a typical traskii.
Chalon will post more photos, and I will as well. This looks very much like https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/10407945, found near Portrero a few years ago, which generated much discussion.

Booking a long on an oak log. I am thankful for the mite in the first picture giving perspective for the size of the snail.

Igneous rock field atop a ridge. 4 shells total found, 0 live specimens.
In range for Helminthoglypta micrometalleoides. We had misinterpreted the type locality of this species in Miller 1970, and hence ended up at this habitat. Pretty shocked to find snails of any form here, period.

This was the first of eight small dark slugs found at various locations on Volcan Mountain Preserve. They were all under bark flakes and logs in mixed oak/conifer woodland in shady locations.

An unusual snail, from north-facing dolomitic rock cliffs in the Little maria mountains.
These were consistently small, around 11mm. A photo comparing to a much larger Eremarionta rowelli shell is included, which was taken from volcanic cliffs in the nearby Whipple mountains (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/199853341).
Some photos of the habitat included. Unable to find a live specimen despite searching efforts. Probably too late in the day and a bit dry.

I was standing under a Coast Live Oak and saw this slug hanging from what looks like silk. It was strange and didnt really seem to be going back up the tree or down from the 15-20 mins I was there. Something funny also was on the end of the slug. Maybe some mucus? Cool to see though. Would someone be able to help me figure out what was happening?
