Slugs are invertebrate animals - mollusk/gastropod. They are nocturnal, but are sometimes active during daylight on rainy days.

Found in fields, woods, and gardens. They like damp, shady places. In daytime, under rocks and logs.

Notes:

This slug was on the edge of a pansy flowerpot on my patio. Reference source: http://www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecolog...
