Hi Laurence..there are many different kinds of slugs throughout the US. None of these in your neck of the woods?? :-) I'm used to seeing the slugs found in the northeast. They're usually gray/black. Thanks for dropping in. #4763658Joerg Schlagheck September 09, 2007

That monster is huge! Nothing like this in the state of Indiana... that I have ever seen. Super photo, love it! #4778307Jane Summa September 11, 2007
Hi Christine..Hi Steven. You are correct, they are "monsters" and as Christine describes they can do a lot of damage. I did a search & found several articles on how to deal with these "creatures"... Thanks for stopping by :-)! #4779254Shahn Torontow September 16, 2007
Hi JaneJane Summa September 17, 2007
Hi Shahn..You're right! I found some interesting facts about the different kinds of slugs out there. I didn't know about how tough they are, though. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :-)! #4803283Shahn Torontow September 17, 2007
