All the Spiders, Centipedes, Land Crabs and Snails of Bermuda
« Back to the Spiders, Centipedes, Land Crabs and Snails photo guide | Flora & Fauna
Key: found only in Bermuda endemic native arrived naturally migrant visitor passes through, does not live here introduced brought in by people protected protected by Bermuda law (Bermuda’s protected species: Protected Species Act 2003 and Fisheries (Protected Species) Order 1978) around the cottages you may see it at Watford Studios
Complete list (218 species)
Every spider and other arachnid, centipede, millipede, woodlouse, land crab and land or freshwater snail with a documented record from Bermuda. Many arrived with plants and cargo, and some were collected only once. The snail list includes several Poecilozonites snails known only as fossils. Grouped by type of animal, then by family; use the search box or the buttons to find one.
Source: species recorded in Bermuda in GBIF (museum specimens, scientific surveys and verified sightings, including research-grade iNaturalist records), using GBIF’s names, with fossil specimens left out. The World Register of Marine Species cannot reliably say which of these animals live on land, so the list was sorted by group: all land-snail families, freshwater snails where WoRMS lists them as freshwater, air-breathing shore snails and woodlice only where WoRMS lists them as living on land, and leaving out species WoRMS lists as marine only (such as the mites of the intertidal rocks). Common names and the endemic and introduced flags come from iNaturalist’s Bermuda checklist where it has them: a guide only, and many introduced species are not marked. Protected status from environment.bm. Old museum records may include misidentifications, and some snail records may be of old or fossil shells. Compiled October 2026.
