- About disasters fires slugs and killer bees

Come to my place, I will let you pick all you want. I collected 5kg of those bastards in 2 hours last summer.
- You got any good recipes for a harvest like that?
  
  Yeah, I feed the slugs to my muscowy ducks, wait a while, and then apply a duck recipe.

Really? They're like the most common ones where I live and you have to be careful not to step on them because they tend to die trying to cross the streets.
- And when you step in them barefoot it's nearly impossible to get that disgusting slime off. Ewww.
  
  I haven't been free of the risk of encountering things like glass, random animal waste, and anti-barefoot laws for so long that the idea of taking strolls barefoot seems alien to me.

I wonder if he's angry?
PS: I care. I care very much about you and this lovely slug. Thank you for taking the time to share!
- As a redhead, my first thought wasn't "it looks angry" but "aww it's a natural carrottop".

The little slimer is so cute. Where did you find them?
- It's raining, so I found it in a random wall from an abandoned house nearby the mini market I was buying some bread

So wrong. I liked seeing your picture of the slug, I don’t see many slugs or snails around here at all. Thanks for sharing
- Sometimes you just gotta come out of your shell.

Gross storytime... Once when I was walking on the sidewalk to my apartment when it was pitch black outside, I stepped on something and heard a POP like when you used to blow up the little plastic sandwich baggies at lunch and pop them.
It was a slug. It had popped all over the sidewalk.
🤢🤮
- I did this once... but I was barefoot...I immediately began to dry heave... it was single handedly the most disgusting thing I've ever felt.

That's no red slug. That's a timid but exhibitionist snail ;)
- It's learning to come out of its shell.

I dunno, looks pretty fucking cool to me.
Yeah, the image could be better resolution, and maybe a tad differently focused, but it gets the job done of showing a cool critter with great color and framing.

This is a nice slug :3

I care!
- Same.

Slugs are my favorite animal! I've also never seen a red one outside of pictures. Mostly either brown slugs or leopard slugs.
- Leopard slugs? As in they're spotted?
  
  Yeah! It's a common name for gray/brown spotted slugs.

Browsing on All I was 30% sure this picture was going to be from some slug enthusiast sub with a million users.
