Florida's generally sandy soil is not conducive to slugs, but they occur where organic matter is abundant, and of course the generally humid conditions favor slug survival. A slug that commonly causes damage in Florida is marsh slug, Deroceras laeve (Müller, 1774).

Florida has a depauparate slug fauna, having only three native species which belong to three different families. Eleven species of exotic slugs have been intercepted by USDA and DPI quarantine inspectors, but only one is known to be established. Some of these, such as the gray garden slug (Deroceras reticulatum Müller), spotted garden slug

All of these phases have been involved in the origin and spread of exotic slugs in the Oklahoma fauna, although some of the slugs have not yet achieved a continuous distribution. Some of them, like the veronicellids, will doubtless remain restricted to greenhouses, since they are of tropical origin. RESULTS The information which follows ...
