DistributionThis species is native to West Africa: Nigeria.[1] It was found as an introduced species in Tuas South, on the tropical island of Singapore, for the first time in 2006.[1] The spread of Limicolaria flammea is potentially damaging to the multi‐billion dollar horticultural industry in Singapore.[1] Malacologists have proposed the urgent eradication of this species in Singapore by handpicking; this is partly in order to prevent the spread of this species into the rest of tropical Asia based on the precautionary principle.[1] EcologyThere is a paucity of information on the biology and ecology of Limicolaria flammea in the wild.[1] Oil palm and cocoa plantations are also mentioned as suitable habitat for Limicolaria flammea in Nigeria.[1] In laboratory conditions, the snails start laying eggs at 5 months old; clutches of up to 56 eggs are produced.[1] In laboratory experiments, Limicolaria flammea fed readily on potato, apple, lettuce, and carrot, and it is likely that the snails are unselective phytophagous, as has been reported for its congeners.[1] This species is probably predominantly nocturnal.[1] ReferencesThis article incorporates CC-BY-3.0 text from the reference[1] 1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Tan S.
