Look Who Came to Visit My Yard

Well....I thought that I did not have snails or slugs, but low and behold, I guess I have something.  I was out watering the plants on the side of the house and I noticed something on the wall.  I thought it was a stick that blew up on the wall from the water hose.  When I took a closer look, I saw the antenna and was amazed at how big it was and wondering where did it come from and how long it planned to stay.  I'm sure that I sure have killed it as I have read on the web and in books that snails and slugs can real do some damage on plants.  However, I have seen frogs (ick) in the yard and wondered may this slug would feed a few of them (not sure).

  2. Stone Art, I would love to come to Ireland, but surely not to see slugs. That thing freaked me out, I thought it was a baby SNAKE. Speaking of, I saw a baby (or at least small) SNAKE on my driveway Sunday morning. Somtething got to it. I almost steped on it while pulling the hose to feed/water plants. I almost woke the neighborhood at 8 in the morning. HA HA.

  3. Ruth@VS I hope it is just the one, but I am sure there is a nest of them waiting and ready to jump out when I am out there by myself and can't run in the house. YES as you can see I am CHICKEN of almost anything the crawls on its belly, hops, jumps, lunges, etc. HA HA. I wanted to preserve this in memory as I had never seen one in my yard let alone that big. Another blogger posted a picture of a slug that was huge. Theirs was much longer and fatter than mine. YUCK.... I feel for you all. I am sure give me another season and all the newness will wear off. HA HA.
