Red Slug

The red slug, 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.

My shot shows the animal while feeding on a juicy fungus.

Dutch name : Rode wegslak
