    Mr K found this Leopard Slug (Limax Maximus) in the garden today, in one of the pumpkin pots!!! It was about 3 inches long before it stretch out and crawled away -

    On this shot, you can look right into the breathing apparatus -

    The following is taken from Wikipedia -

    "On one side (almost always the right hand side) of the mantle is a respiratory opening, which is easy to see when open, but difficult to see when closed. This opening is known as the pneumostome."

    Limax maximus (literally, "great slug") I have just read they can grow to 8" !!
    I would love to get my usb microscope on that except that the slime could be problem.

    The detail on that one is great, Woo, well caught! :gnthb:


    We'd never seen such a slug before either, just hope it was a one-off type one. Gad! 8 inches, I'd have a screaming fit if I found something like that in our garden.

    Sorry, I can't even send you a bit of it now, Robert, as it has turned into a mess with salt. Yuk and shudder!
