Range
[edit | edit source]Its documented range is limited to the central & southern counties of Florida, from Citrus County to Volusia County at the northern extent to Collier County and Miami-Dade County at the southern extent. It is known from an estimated 50 to 80 populations across this range, with about 25 of those being considered large enough to be healthy. It is facing extreme pressure from habitat loss due to urban sprawl and agriculture.[1]
