2 slugs both found in Bristol, I get lost on many of the aggs species so any help appreciated

Hi mate, nice to here from you

Slug 1...

This would be Tandonia budapestensis or T.sowerbii, they usually have the pale keel running from tail to mantle (keel colour not always certain). T.budapestensis will have a dark central strip running down its sole, T.sowerbii will lack this.

Slug 2...

Not certain with this...i need to see colour of its sole (i'm not good with slugs from pics

). But, i think it might be Arion distinctus.

Hi Chris,
Good to hear from you too. Thanks for the Id's , another few to add to my site. Obviously I will tentatively put them on as a possible. Cheers
