Great grey slug?
Just in the last few years, I've been encountering some giant slugs around here. I view them as pests. Here is one I found on the house siding this morning. If this is a great grey slug, it is not a US native, but an accidental introduction. Sometimes those introductions can have a dramatic impact on the ecology of an area.

YES, the 'exotic' plants and insects are a blight at times. I did not know the slug was exotic. The term exotic is used by the forest folk in Florida to describe anything not native.
ReplyDeleteThat is a big dude!
The little slugs are probably native.
