Not the most dynamic of creatures, but guaranteed to provoke reaction from everyone!  |

We have had some WHOPPERS in the garden with all this wet weather!
I just try and plant mostly shrubs these days which are least likely to get gobbled up!
Hosta's and marigolds i gave up on long ago   |

Falling over  
I once slipped on a slug at work and ended up flat on my back with plenty of people around to see
(And the accident report really did say 'slipped on a slug'!)

Ever hit your next-door-neighbour with one?! (I mean accidentally...)
I wonder if they realise where they come from...
Anyway,

I get plenty of these in my garden- I find them quite attractive. It's the red form of Arion ater; there's also a black form (often called the Large Black Slug) which I don't get. | | |
