There was a leopard slug in our kitchen yesterday and it was a good job it was me who spotted it or it'd been salted.  P.S. those are some fine looking slugs! I wish they were that good in my garden. |

About how large is the very large Aronus Rufus? Around 15-18cm? I ask because after I said I wish I had slug like that in my garden, I checked and found some small Aronus Rufus and some of what I think are leopard slugs of the same size. then I went up the small road behind our garden and found three huge ones all together! Here is a very poor pic of the largest:  the other two were slightly smaller and one is much more orange. He isnt totally streched out here, but he is now in a positon I cant photograph him in, add about 3/4cm to the length in the photo. |

Looks about the size of my largest Arion rufus How big were the Leopards? They're pretty easy to identify even when small, heres a small one only a couple of cm's  |
