I know one thing for certain, whatever their socialising habits are there are more of them this year than I've ever known. They are eating plants that they don't normally bother with. Mark my words fellow forumers, they will be after us next and woe betides us when we attempt to get out into their garden.
They certainly party together in my garden! I know because I pick them off everything in spring - the little black ones normally just go for dead stuff, as do the stripy snails and cellar slugs, garden snails and leopard slugs do most of the damage. Big slugs sometimes get told off, but they're generally not a problem.
