Ambigolimax valentianus

TaxID: 1338344

Basic Information

Ambigolimax valentianus

Canadian slug, Striped Greenhouse Slug

Ambigolimax valentianus (formerly known as Lehmannia valentiana) is a species of terrestrial slug, a pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Limacidae. It has spread very widely around the world, especially in greenhouses, where it can be a pest; in warmer climates it has often then spread outdoors. Comparatively much has been learnt about its life cycle and temperature relations. Dissection is necessary to reliably distinguish it from congeners in regions where these co-occur.
