Someone out there appears to have been meddling.
I haven’t found out who they are, but I’ve found the result of their work.
What exactly they were trying to achieve is a little bit unclear, and how they got there is beyond mind-boggling, but there you go.
I present you….
…the leopard-slug!

(or in this case leopard-slugs, since they were playing monkey-tag at the time of the photo)
Habitat: damp pavements and steps
Hobbies: monkey-tag
Size: 10 – 15cm long, 1 – 2cm thick
I’ve seen them a couple of times now, and meant to publish them earlier, but better late that never…
This is a cool photo. Happy you have posted it 😀 Seeing these slugs in a photo takes away the creepiness of their cold and slimy bodies.

Thanks! 🙂
