Great find! If I'd known you spotted this today I would've come over for a look. How big was it?
Do you mind if I post this pic in the snails of australia facebook group to get an ID from the experts?

Sure thing! It was under that log you lifted up with the frogs etc. It was about 0.5-1cm, quite small.

This is the first sighting of this native species on CNM. ID thanks to Michael Shea of Snails of Australia FB Page, and co-author of Australian Land Snails Vol 1 & 2

Question via Facebook about this sighting: "Why is it called the grim reaper? Is it carnivorous?"
