Tell me somethingWhat is the difference between a slug and a snail? Aren't snails just posh slugs or are slugs just homeless snails? And what is the bloody point of them?

  But are they the same thing? And what is their purpose in my garden? And do they eventually end up as butterflies?  |

An odd question from a non-gardener, but if you really want to know here's a link that will probably tell you more than you want to know... http://daviswiki.org/Slugs_&_Snails |

Dear god that sent shivers up my spine looking at those things. So it seems I am right in thinking that snails are posh slugs and slugs are homeless snails Still not too sure about their purpose but this bit was scarey Most snails and slugs are hermaphrodites, possessing both male and female genitalia. In some species, an individual may behave as male for a while, then as a female. In a few species, self-fertilization occurs. Mating requires four to 12 hours and somewhere around 86 white spherical eggs about 1/8" diameter are deposited in a small dirt nest about three to six days later. Doesnt take that in seconds in my house |
