juvenile Forest Slug

Arion silvaticus

Description:

Grey and brownish small slug, 3-5 cm as an adult, spread over Europe's forests from Britain to Czech Republic. Juvenile look a bit transparent, especially at the frontal "neck-shield". The eyes turn darker with becoming adult - to a deep brown or nearly black. The back will turn into more clear contrasts of dark and brighter grey shades, running like stripes along the body.
