I'm sure that I read somewhere that these leopard slugs are goodies cos they eat the others.
I have just looked it up and they do eat other slugs but they also like a salad with it

If you have ever seen these mating on a wildlife programme your heart would soften! These are the ones that hang down on a thread and spin a lovely sort of slime cocoon and twine round each other. Having watched it they always get put to one side where they  can live in safety in my garden!
