Trivia myrae Manzanillo, West Mexico NOTE: I have not collected live shells since the mid-1970's. I believe that the animal itself is much more valuable alive than destroyed for its shell. It is for this reason that I will now only collect beach/forest shells from deceased specimens. Date: 30 November 2011, 11:16. Source: Triviidae (Trivia family) Uploaded by Tim1357.
