FLORIDA'S TOP 20

MOST IMPERILED & PROTECTED INVERTEBRATES

FRESHWATER • SALTWATER • ENDANGERED • THREATENED • PROTECTED

Educational note: Florida has more than 20,000 estimated invertebrate species. This collection emphasizes listed and imperiled species first, then adds protected, highly managed, or ecologically important Florida natives. Insects are covered on their own Swamp Puppy Outfitters page, so this collection focuses on corals, mollusks, crustaceans and other non-insect invertebrates. “Top 20” is educational, not an official government ranking. Status and regulations can change. Photos are loaded from Wikipedia/Wikimedia when available. Swamp Puppy Outfitters is not affiliated with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation.
