Was it the monster slugs?
Must have been. Probably trampled them.

Gone as in pinched?!

No, gone as in munched through by slugs (probably the ones to be
caught
in beer traps rather than bear traps) and/or destroyed by the wind.



Do slugs get wind?

Well, yours appear to have parachutes!! ;-)




One way to avoid a bear trap, I suppose :~)


That makes me think of Winnie the Pooh floating along in the sky...!




:~). I wish my slugs would float along in the sky. I could get rid of
a lot on a windy day :~)). Poor old Winnie encountered bees, though.
Does rather serve him right for trying to steal their honey.
