When is a slug a friend?

Did a night hunt for pests tonight, catching about 60 slugs, some cockroaches, earwigs and a couple of snails.

My motivation was to find what was chewing the top of a big cabbage. I expected an animal but it was a very veracious giant slug — now deceased!

There was quite a few leopard slugs prowling the yard. I leave these slugs alone as they typically don’t eat fresh vegetation. They prefer decaying matter, rotting meat, and known to hunt down and consume the pesky slugs. Easy to spot as the marking as much like a leopard.

Some of the bad slugs were almost as big as this fellow.
