    They are much more complex, than people know. The one at the bottom is even carrying money with it

    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.
