They are much more complex, than people know. The one at the bottom is even carrying money with it
To be honest that is pretty distinctive behaviour.
Should that also have been mentioned in the ‘Diet’ section as well?
I remember salting those things with my grandpa in his garden when I was a kid.
I also remember UCSC students cooking and eating them after the school adopted the banana slug mascot.
Eating slugs sounds like a good way to get horrific parasites… I wouldn’t even trust one that’s been burnt to charcoal.
Those little fuckers will destroy yr garden if you let them.
You can leave beer out in a cooking pot and they’ll climb the walls then drown in it - but I don’t drink and don’t want to buy beer
Sooooo you can capture 4 or 5 of them, cut them in half and impale them on skewers and line your garden Vlad-like and that will, I shit you not, scare the rest from coming in.
Unfortunately, slug eggs are super fucking tiny and are just left random-where in the soil, so there’s nothing short of nuking the ground that we can do to get rid of them…so the staking continues.
Fell-ouch-io?
