Growing up in Wyoming it's easy to understand that I have never, ever in my life entire life seen a slug. . .until today. The weather has been so wet that the moisture has driven them above ground. J said hadn't seen a slug in over 20 yrs. since he was back East. He brought this little guy in on the palm of his hand to show me. At the time, the little critter looked like nothing more than something hacked up out of a smoker's brown lung. We put him back out side where he was and he when he started becoming less afraid, he was on the move and had his horns out.
Slugs are cool.
Slugs are not cool. Slugs eat our strawberries. Grrr.
ReplyDelete(well, it is kinda cool when they pull in their little eyestalks and then push them back out. good trick!)
