Title: squishy clear eggs
Post by: shedifice on April 11, 2005, 08:33:57
Hi,

Whilst excavating the couch and mares tthings from a plot on the weekend I came across a number of small defenceless slugs, and mercilessly disposed of em. I also found a number of small peppercorn sized brown spheres that crumbled with nout inside when squashed. Next I found pepper corn sized misty white squishy 'eggs' these were not so pleasant when squished.

Did I discover the life cycle of slugs from birth to adulthood or is this some other strange thing in the white squishy things?

Ps found a couple of ladybirds at it last weekend too! must be the weather.

Yes - discovered my 2 year old eating those little eggs last year. In fact, I think he tasted most things, finally deciding that cornflower seed heads were the tastiest item!

The brown ones may have been those little plant feed granules.  :)
