Chocolate Arion
The color of this slug can range from chocolate brown to black, but the underside is always orange/red with stripes.
The Chocolate Arion, like all other slugs, uses 2 pairs of tentacles to sense its environment.
The upper pair is used to sense light, while the lower pair provides the slug's sense of smell.
Both pairs can retract and extend themselves to avoid hazards and, if lost to an accident or predation, can be regrown.
Dutch name : Grote wegslak
German name : Grosse Wegschnecke
Latin name : Arion rufus

A wonderful shot of this guy. Just one thought and that is that the light would have been better on the other side. Hopefully you would have had time to adjust before this guy moved out of range.-Archie

Unforunateley can't say it's beautiful or sweet:) but certainly plays some crucial role in the food chain?I like the orange line underneath though.
Good closeup from a good pov.
