| There are only three species of slugs native to northeast Florida. Of the three, Philomyus carolinianus (Bosc, 1802), is by far the rarest - usually restricted to wooded areas, where it associates with rotting logs. The other two species are relatively common and survive quite nicely in the lawns and gardens of urban populated areas. | |
