Slug identification required..

[Mr Hammers]

My daughter found, and adopted this ugly thing in our garden, and wants to find out what it is;

Slug 1
Slug 2

It's like a slug, but with a spike on his tail, and he has little feet at the front. He was munching through a dandelion leaf like a machine at the time.

Tried looking at some slug websites (which make my stomach turn over...yukk) but I can't find anything that shows what species/make/model it is.

Anyone know what little 'Slumo' is..?

Edit: Forgot to mention, when he gets scared he retracts his head into his body, which makes him look like a little snake with those 'eyes' on the side.

Looks like a juvenile graboid to me.

Watch out, it'll be eating Burt Lancaster next.

Turn it over and there should be a serial number for you to look up.

What made you think that was a slug?

Elephant Hawkmoth Caterpillar would be my guess

Fantastic, your daughter likes slugs

Would she like to choose from one of the 480+ I collected the other morning?

I actually lost count (along with the will to live) and had to put them in a Next carrier bag, as the bucket wasn't big enough!

I'm sure they can be posted (think of it as naked snail mail)

we get them over here but only seen the black and white variation.

All I can tell you is they they hungry little f&ckers and just a few of them can make a real mess of your plants.

Oh and they're green inside when you step on the bastards
