King Slug

Living out in the bluffs has its interesting aspects. Like the critters. So many of them and nothing like anywhere else in Toronto. We started seeing these guys crossing our entranceway. HUGE slugs like we’d never seen before. So we looked them up. Turns out they are called “Leopard Slugs”. An invasive species from Europe. Go figure, just like almost ALL of us for that matter! This guy hangs out in our compost a lot. We call him “King Slug”. Notice this picture of him next to my finger to give an idea of how big these guys are!
