Mmmm, coyote poop

7mm diametre.

Found in backyard under Douglas Fir Tree.

Haha, a banana slug eating a banana!

Various aged scats and feeding sign on multiple discreet lichen patches. Definite preference for a particular lichen species.

What is going on here?

Being eaten by a garter snake.

This juvenile 1" Prophysaon vanattae (Scarletback Taildropper) was feasting on a crust fungus growing on a cut log lying on the forest floor.

3.5 cm.

I did not know these slugs were ranging this far north. This was seen on the north side of the Alaska Range at the entrance to Denali National Park.

About 50 cm in length

In trying to figure out what they were doing, I ended up disrupting a group of Scaphinotus beetles working this slug

Large slug, close to three inches, with no keel, the pneumostome fairly far forward, and heavy granulation to the mantle.

No wonder there are so many of them!

found on a deer skeleton

Mating behaviour, hanging off a wooden fence

Long black body, brown head, approximately one adult male index finger long

Didn't make it, d\Dead middle of road, insides squished out

I found this Leopard Slug eating a Reticulate Tail-dropper. I have never seen a slug eat meat, let alone another slug.

Found this little guy underneath my wheel chocks while I was changing the oil in the truck. And apparently I'm uploading all of my observations out of order today.

Interrupted its egg-laying session

From an old collection: Monadenia fidelis (Gray, 1834)
Collected near Victoria, British Columbia, Canada by C. F. Newcomb in 1890 from the Walter Jacob Eyerdam Collection.

From an old collection - Port Angeles, Clallam County, Washington. Collected by W. J. Eyerdam in 1956.

Monadenia fidelis minor (W. C. Bonney, 1895)

23 miles east of the Dalles, Wasco County, Oregon. Ex. Roman V. Egorov Collection. This is a very small subspecies found in this area.

From an old collection - Whidbey Island, Island County, Washington. Found in virgin forest. Collected by W. J. Eyerdam August 29, 1941.

From an old collection - Monroe, Snohomish Co., Washington. Collected in deciduous forest. W. J. Eyerdam Collection. June 13, 1937.

tiny white and grey "bubbly" slug. Very pretty. About 1/2 inch long.

Pretty sure this is H. skadei due to brownish color and medium size. Those are not definitive characters though so not possible to say they are not camelus.

An example of an albinistic M. fidelis (formerly going by the name of M. fidelis flava). Notice how the body color is also lighter than usual for this species.

We see these all over the forest.

@gwark I think there are thousands of white slugs on this tiny Island
