Default Slugs and snails (but not puppy dogs' tails)

Hi, has anyone noticed that there seem to be fewer slugs and snails this
year despite the wet weather (well in the SW anyway).
Could it be because we actually had a proper cold spell for a change?


Up here, in the wilds of Bolton, snails and slugs are thriving, as are red
lily beetle and wasps. However, I've noticed a lack of greenfly. As for
plants, this year seems to be a good year for honeysuckle and laburnum.
