Spanish slug-spotting

Thanks very much for these links Fran. I didn't know how big they are!! Hope I never have to deal with any.

they're a fairly new invsasion, nothing's learned to prey on them yet, which is what they're worried about, I think: bigger, breed faster and more eggs, and unpreyed on - disaster scenario!

lol would holy water work? or an exorcism??

Thanks Fran, thats all we need. Giant slugs!!

Do these slugs play guitars or stomp about with castanets? We already have some long slithery buff slugs with orangy yellow undersides. They can munch away, as I grow no veggies. If something might be vulnerable I protect with dried holly leaves. If they really annoy me, a light sprinkle of salt does the trick rapidly.

Saw that report on BBC ... thanks, Fran, for the update :o)

I think I mentioned this a while ago Fran the John Innes centre isn't far from us I occasionally catch bugs for their tests these slugs have been know to munch through whole crops in fields they will also eat small creatures ...

Yikes!!!! I hope it's too cold for them up here!!!

could you all spread the word, or the link at least, thorugh your own networks of contacts? the more people involved in the survey, I think, the better all round
