What happens to slugs in the winter?

Friar Tuck

Most field slugs pass through a single generation per year and generally overwinter in the egg stage. However, if the winter is mild, adults may survive the winter. Since field slugs may live 12 to 15 months and eggs are laid both in the early spring and fall, overlapping generations of adult and juvenile stages may be observed. In the winter, adult slugs may enter a state of hibernation, and in the dry and hot summer conditions they enter a similar inactive state of aestivation. Peak slug activity generally occurs in late spring and early summer when the spring hatch attains adult growth and again in the early fall when cooler temperatures resume. http://ohioline.osu.edu/icm-fact/fc-20.html May 24 03, 9:26 PM
