A Black Slug (Pulmonata)

in Beauty of Creativity6 days ago

I found this slug staying still on a rotting banana skin and this gave me a good chance to capture it the way I like. As it was under shady spot, I managed to take it away. Although it is a sticky mollusk, it may be also considered as part of the beauty that nature provides that we cant ignore its presence around us. After I passed some attempts, I finally got a few pictures worth sharing. This mollusk is known as sticky and slow and belongs to the subclass Pulmonata has soft, sticky, and slimy bodies. It is generally restricted to moist habitats on land (one freshwater species is known). This slug is large and bulky with long coarse tubercles on the side and back that can be distinguished from mature adults by the presence of lateral stripes and is included in the colorless group slug, though very sticky, and it lacks a keel.
