Pacific Banana Slug

Ariolimax columbianus

Description:

Banana slugs are often bright yellow (giving rise to the banana sobriquet) although they may also be green, brown, or white. Some slugs have black spots (Ariolimax columbianus) which may be so extensive as to make the animal look almost solid black.

Habitat:

Found on a garden path near a lawn in a heavily wooded area.

Notes:

The Pacific Banana Slug is the second-largest species of terrestrial slug in the world.
