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.

  1. 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.
    That is a big dude!
