I know nobody here cares…
Browsing on All I was 30% sure this picture was going to be from some slug enthusiast sub with a million users.

about the nasa slug that’s falling in the sea
Really? They’re like the most common ones where I live and you have to be careful not to step on them because they tend to die trying to cross the streets.
And when you step in them barefoot it’s nearly impossible to get that disgusting slime off. Ewww.
I haven’t been free of the risk of encountering things like glass, random animal waste, and anti-barefoot laws for so long that the idea of taking strolls barefoot seems alien to me.
Garden at my parent’s house. Lush, green grass, shadows below the trees, and most of the year no danger of slugs.
Edit: wait, wait. Anti barefoot laws? What for? Why?
Back in the 1960’s, requiring people to wear shoes to use public services was seen as a way to shoo hippies, since the government at the time was not fond of them. The requirement never went away, but the excuse today is that being in bare feet is a health risk.
Those hippies! Nice music and love and stuff, can’t have that. No sir!
Come to my place, I will let you pick all you want. I collected 5kg of those bastards in 2 hours last summer.
I wonder if he’s angry?
PS: I care. I care very much about you and this lovely slug. Thank you for taking the time to share!
As a redhead, my first thought wasn’t “it looks angry” but “aww it’s a natural carrottop”.
Gross storytime… Once when I was walking on the sidewalk to my apartment when it was pitch black outside, I stepped on something and heard a POP like when you used to blow up the little plastic sandwich baggies at lunch and pop them.
It was a slug. It had popped all over the sidewalk.
🤢🤮
I did this once… but I was barefoot…I immediately began to dry heave… it was single handedly the most disgusting thing I’ve ever felt.
So wrong. I liked seeing your picture of the slug, I don’t see many slugs or snails around here at all. Thanks for sharing
Sometimes you just gotta come out of your shell.
The little slimer is so cute. Where did you find them?
It’s raining, so I found it in a random wall from an abandoned house nearby the mini market I was buying some bread
This is a nice slug :3
I care!
Same.
I dunno, looks pretty fucking cool to me.
Yeah, the image could be better resolution, and maybe a tad differently focused, but it gets the job done of showing a cool critter with great color and framing.
That’s no red slug. That’s a timid but exhibitionist snail ;)
It’s learning to come out of its shell.
Slugs are my favorite animal! I’ve also never seen a red one outside of pictures. Mostly either brown slugs or leopard slugs.
Leopard slugs? As in they’re spotted?
Yeah! It’s a common name for gray/brown spotted slugs.
Oh that’s why I was wondering. They’re the ones indigenous to Eurasia. Where I am, we got the boring monochrome slugs.
