It occured to me just now; what exactly do they do? They seem to be infesting the pavements at night, seeming not going anywhere, but they're always gone by morning. Where do they do? What do they do? Are they nocturnal? I'm becoming more curious...please help...

no they are not nocturnal, well not to my knowledge anyway. Snails do not like hot and dry conditions. They like it moist/wet or humid and not too bright. So really the best time for a snail or slug to come out is when its raining, or at night. when it gets too hot, bright or dry, snails and slugs will huddle togeather in a damp place so they don't dry up, or if possible, climb into their shells.
