It has fabulous markings and textures, Keith…super shot. Did you squash it afterwards to save your plants from its ravages?
2 months ago.
Keith Burton club has replied to Diana Australis club
Thanks very much Diana.........you're very kind as always.

I didn't squash it........but left it in the compost bin. I have three compost bins and each one has a small colony of slugs in it.

Glad you like this one Wilheim.........thanks very much for your visit and kind comments.

I was lucky that I didn't have to chase it round the garden, unlike the snail in another recent shot......1/125 was a safe bet :-)))
