Apparently, the only slugs around the Island that are native are the big yellow ones called Leopard or Banana slug, and a little blue-grey one that only lives in the forest. Not sure I’ve ever seen any of the latter, and I rarely see any of the former these days. I always make sure to save the Banana slugs, but the black ones don’t get as much care.
Denman Island author Des Kennedy wrote an interesting book called Living Things We Love to Hate: Facts, Fantasies & Fallacies. Slugs do play a role!
