Limax maximus
Black and grey very large speckled slug
These slugs seem to be inhabiting a gully and tiny ridge at the end of a wood in the playground. While they probably are not truly nocturnal they like to be moving about when it is cool and moist
This "pod" of Leopard Slugs has found a rotting banana and gathered for the feast. The banana is probably the remains of a school lunch because it is on the back-road next to a playground

Ha! Yes it was arthropods. I'm cleaning up hundreds of them. It's so easy to do when you put up a string of spottings.
Can you remember what I put, I thought I had used a "mollusc" section but there isn't one?
Slugs and snails are molluscs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snail
