HNT slugs

When I turned over a stone in the garden, I was pleased to find this unusual-looking slug creature. I took two photos. It's actually wide and flat, and completely white except for the tattoo-like marking on its back.









Some people confuse slugs with snails. The difference is that snails can shelter in their shells, but slugs have no shells and so are more vulnerable.

For comparison, I have included a picture of a common snail pulling its head in to escape danger.

If you're desperate, you can access all the old half baked thursday posts.

PS - I cheated this week, the photo is not of me at all. My willie wouldn't fit in the shot.
