We observed sphaeriid clams attached to the digits of salamanders distributed in wetlands of eastern Hokkaido, Japan. One of the clams in either the genus Euglesa or Odhneripisidium was found on a salamander (Salamandrella keyserlingii) captured on dry land, showing that the clam was being transported by a land-walking amphibian. It is possible that sphaeriid clams migrate between water areas using salamanders to expand their distribution.
