Roundback Slug

Arion sp.

Description:

Orange slug with a humpbacked appearance and ridges on its dorsal surface.

Habitat:

Spotted on rotting wood in a coniferous forest.

Notes:

AKA: Poor Man's Peaches and Escargot Sans Coquille

This roundback slug is lucky that I am the one who came across it, as there are many people who harvest and eat these slugs. Apparently, deep fried slug is a particular favorite among slug eaters. Alas, this slug will live to see another day :)
