  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;We used camera traps to determine which predators were responsible for depredated &lt;i&gt;Pomacea maculata&lt;/i&gt; (Maculata Apple Snail) shells at 2 different study sites. Evidence of predation at these sites included operculums near the shells with a small amount of flesh attached and shells accumulating a meter or more from the water’s edge with no evidence of recent flooding. In both locations, the most frequently observed potential predators were &lt;i&gt;Procyon lotor&lt;/i&gt; (Raccoon), which was the only species directly observed capturing and eating Apple Snails.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
