See I told you Meta menardi that you had inspired me and I now know how difficult it is to capture these speedy creatures  I find it even more difficult to ID them and all I know is this is a slug

Any help gratefully received. | I'd say Cepaea nemoralis - Brown-lipped Copse Snail
Might be in the genus Helix now!

And thanks for the slug pic, Monkey, those things can really move. |
