I assume all you slug-hunters know that most of the damage is caused by
one or two species of smaller slug? Most of the slugs eat rotting
vegetation not live stuff, and one or two are purely carnivorous. In
particular, the huge black slugs don't eat live vegetation, neither do
the big yellow ones with grey-green markings.



Well the two huge fat things sat eating my rhubarb leaves looked very
guilty to me.
