Makes sense, these guys can really cover ground quicker than I would have guessed by looking at them. It would be interesting to set up a time laps to catch them hunting your apples.

The largest is the Leopard slug, yeah? I saw one of them in Ireland a few years back and it had some really neat looking patterns.

I wish I had put something down for scale! Cool to know they can get even bigger than this one (approx 15-17cm).

woah, did you have a bunch of them swarming your trees?

Very cool! Now I want to go back and see if I can find some variants!

I'd guess it was 15-17cm/ 6-7 in. Absolute unit of a molluscs!

This is the first one I've seen in the wild, and they are fascinating to watch! I probably spent an hour just following it around while it slimed along every surface in its path.

I didn't realize they were being displaced..

It very much does, and thank you!

You should! They are a blast to work with. Ink up some glorious dongs for us 😂

Phalluses are dandy! Say.. you didn't happen to work for Disney in the late 80s did ya?

The night sky is incredible there! Nothing better than sleeping in the open desert under the stars:)

Thanks! I've been a few times over the years but not before it received park status in mid 90s. From what I hear, it was a bit of mecca for psychedelic enthusiasts. Its a lot more touristy these days, but that money really helps the conservation efforts (or at least it used to sigh). Still tons of great camping and climbing!
