Slug-Spotting



Nature in New-York ongoing series - found the above on the sidewalk across the street. Tried to move it to safety but it was gripped onto the sidewalk. Some kind of slug. Anyone recognize the species?

  3. Way to spot the well-camouflaged slug! And Amie, way to identify it!

  4. "Soon it is not enough just to look. One needs to identify, and then with the magic of a name in hand, begin to put together some of the fats that make up a world." (Ann Swinger, "The Art of Wandering.")
