Deep in my banana slug era..Banana slugs are equipped with 4 sensory stalks, 2 eye stalks, and 2 chemical receptor “taste” stalks. They eat using a set of iron imbued scrapers known as a radula. The hole in the side of the head is called a pneumostome, it is where they breathe and breed. .They glide around on a layer of water loving (hygroscopic) slime that serves not only as their way of getting around but also as a defense against predators (licking a banana slug is not a pleasant experience).

Check out this slimy slug friend munching this mushroom. This is a #BananaSlug #Ariolimax (species complex) absolutely plowing through this whitish mushroom with its iron imbued radula scrapers (basically iron teeth). I find that speeding these slugs up in time lapse makes them much more relatable and fun to watch. Hope you enjoy all the hearty monching!.This past year has been a tough one for me. On this day last year I had some major life changes that shifted my direction in life and forced me

These slow-moving decomposers are essential to the ecosystem, recycling fallen leaves and turning them into rich soil that helps new life grow. They breathe through a hole on their side, can stretch to nearly a foot long, and have a slime that not only keeps them from drying out but also numbs the mouths of would-be preda
