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