Slugs

Since we have been pretty bad about posting about climbing, how about slugs? We ran into these cool slugs out at Roche qui Tourne, a beautiful, quiet, untouched area near Coquibus. From my brief internet research, I came up with the European Red Slug, Arion rufus.


Apparently very common, we haven't run into these guys in our previous trips. Perhaps the timing of our trip this year (well into spring) has something to do with these slugs. In these photos, we scared the slugs so they are in their defensive blobs, with their mantles pulled over their tentacles.


Another first on this trip, we've seen the Chenille Processionaire that we've heard so much about.
