I found this slug on a leaf of a Solomon’s seal plant.
A slug is a snail without a shell.
Slugs live underground where they can remain moist.
They feed on tender leaves, seedlings, soft fruit, fungus and decaying matter. They breathe through the “hole” in its shell called a mantle.
Birds, toads and ground beetles are a few of the predators that eat them.
Slugs are one thing I rarely see, and I wouldn’t have seen this one if it wasn’t for the wet weather.
