If you don't like slugs---don't look.

Leopard slugs?
Any ideas.

[muddled]

I think (but am by no means sure) that those are common'yellow garden' slugs. Leopard slug markings are considerably more defined.....kind of like a giraffes neck rather than smudgy camoflage.

Sorry.

And full grown leopard slugs are BIG.

Thank you both.
Taken more phots and compared with online pictures.
These have blue tentacles, so not good.
I have seen some leopard slugs but these are definitely not.
Wonder if the neighbor wants them in his garden.

big and horrible things take a man's arm off that could

Found a leopard slug this evening in the GH, but all the ones I have seen in and about my garden(and always on their own), are not what I would call large, not alone man eating size.
This may change when I reduce the amount of European Red Ants and more live food becomes available.

I suppose on the good side - if this type of slug is that big it makes it easier to spot. Lets be realistic if that monster was munching on cabbage, lettuce or anything with a largish leaf its body weight would bend the leaf over and then it could be stomped on.

Whatever they are they seem very much in love.

They'll only come back. Bite the bullet and do away with them. Yellow slugs LOVE seedlings!

They say that we learn something new every day - my lesson today is 'slug'. I didn't realise there were so many species and if it was not for the fact that they are destructive to the point of oblivion I quite like the name of the Spanish Stealth Slug - the secret service of the slimey world.

I'm sure I once read that it's the small slugs which are the more destructive ones and annihilate our plants and the big ones eat decomposing stuff

Those big ones are so pretty I'd be tempted just to collect them up in a tub and release them a mile or two down the road in a nature reserve or wood etc.
