Invasive Terrestrial Snails & Slugs
Help us find potentially harmful snails and slugs!
Many common snails and slugs are sometimes pests of plants, while others go about their business unnoticed. Some, like the few listed here, are considered invasive and problematic for our native plant life. ! With your help, we can monitor for such dangerous slugs every time you post a snail or slug observation to iNaturalist.
