I think it's wonderful that they come in all colors since they don't have much to say.

Thanks for the post today.  I hate slugs, I have a stone wall that I often see them sunning themselves on.

Good picture by the way.

Charles - they love the smell of beer and will go to it and, sadly, drown.  A very environmental way to get them out of the garden - unless you drink the beer first and then don't care.  Good close up photo.  Do you have a macro lens?

Charlie,

We take our northwest slugs for granted. Some people find them gross.

Posted by Steven L. Smith, Bellingham, Wa. Home Inspector (King of the House Home Inspection, Inc) over 1 year ago

Erika, they moooove really quietly too

Joan, they do have a high yuck factor

Glen----they do come in a rainbow of colors

Patricia----watch out they are our state horse

valerie, maybe we could start a whole new think like the worm in tequila?  My cheapo Fuji S700 goes from 5/8" to 10x zoom

Wow, neat bright frill along the bottom.  Quite a character.

Posted by Jim Allhiser Salem, Oregon Home Inspector (Perfection Inspection, Inc.) over 1 year ago

Michael, I think they have the market cornered

A, they can do a lot of damage

Jim, that is what I found so interesting about this little guy

Posted by Charles Buell, Seattle Home Inspector (Charles Buell Inspections.com) over 1 year ago

Charles, is he edible?  Oops!  Guess not.  For a minute I thought it was a snail.  Great photo!

Posted by Patricia Kennedy (Evers & Company Realtors) over 1 year ago

When he hike out here on the west coast we see the big yellow banana slugs...  someone always licks one!  HAHA!

Posted by Chris Alston (Keller Williams Realty, Cupertino California) over 1 year ago

Leave the little slugger alone.

Who knows someday we might have a beer with him.

Enjoy the day

Looks like we're slugging it out together today - oh wait - we were talking about short sales.....lol

It is funny that we have both the ugly slug and all of the beautiful grey and black squirrels.

Posted by Steven L. Smith, Bellingham, Wa. Home Inspector (King of the House Home Inspection, Inc) over 1 year ago

Nice picture - I have never wanted to photo them.  But I did see a banana slug in Oregon that was pretty interesting looking!

Posted by Peggy Chirico, REALTORĀ® 860-748-8900 Hartford & Tolland County Real Estate (Prudential CT Realty) over 1 year ago

I never knew they had ridges on their back sides.  Of course, I never got THAT CLOSE to look -- Gee thanks Charlie!!  HA HA HA

Posted by Carla Muss-Jacobs - Exclusive Buyers Agent Portland | Portland Real Estate | (503-810-7192 | BuyersAgentPortland.com) over 1 year ago

Pat as edible as any snail as far as I am concerned

Chris do they taste like banana?

Don, lots of people like to have beer with slugs

Anna, same difference

Steve---same thing except one has hair

Peggy, I have no control over what I photograph :)

Carla, anything that shrivels up in gets ridges :)  When he is bookn' down the driveway the wrinkles go away and he is as smooth as a banana

I've got my 3 year old granddaughter looking over my shoulder & her comment is "Slugs are yucky"  LOL

Posted by Nancy Conner - Olympia/Thurston County WA (Managing Broker - City Realty Inc) over 1 year ago

Nancy, tell her that if she can locate one big enough she can slide on and off real easy while riding.

Posted by Charles Buell, Seattle Home Inspector (Charles Buell Inspections.com) over 1 year ago

I don't mind bugs and spiders. Only slugs and two specific squirrels.

Don't have any slugs that look like that out here in CT. All of ours are yellow to orange.

Posted by James Quarello - Connecticut Home Inspector (JRV Home Inspection Services, LLC) over 1 year ago

Kate, great but don't you think 2.99 is a bit steep----or is that 2 for 99?

Jim-pictures----pictures

Well, over at Wal-Mart, they are offering Nutsy for .25 cents a pound to those who can't afford quality meat.

Posted by Ask Kate for answers (Get-Your-Best-Mortgage-Rate.com) over 1 year ago

That's NUTS!

Delicious escargot!  Can you find those on sidewalks or must they be purchased?

 

Very kindly,

 

Croakster

Posted by Jay Markanich - Northern VA Home Inspector (Jay Markanich Real Estate Inspections, LLC) over 1 year ago

Croakster, if you would just sit still long enough I am sure one would crawl right on you.

Posted by Charles Buell, Seattle Home Inspector (Charles Buell Inspections.com) over 1 year ago

kind of pretty up front with its slimey skirt.....
