I've moved this slug from the Arthropod category to the Other category for you. Snails and slugs are Mollusks. Arthropods have an exoskeleton and jointed limbs in at least one phase of their life. Think dragonfly, bee, crab, and ant.
This guy was in the flower bed when I went to mow the lawn. I picked him up to take pictures & get him out of harm's way & he seemed to be stimulated by the warmth of my hand. he was much more active on my hand than on the ground.
