Description
A land slug, the florida leatherleaf slug is native to the Caribbean and southern Florida. A pesky nuisance in Florida gardens, the slug plays an important role in the overall ecosystem. Feasting on decayed plant material, they ensure new growth, but of course tend to feed on tender leaves and stems as well. The florida leatherleaf slug will secrete large capacities of mucous to ward off predators, but it is still a favorite food of many birds and snakes.
