SLUG


Not only do we have frogs in our back yard, but we have these ghastly looking slugs as well. I've never seen such a sight. Click to englarge if you feel like it.

hey erin! how funny! this is totally gross, but i used to pick those slugs up when i was a little girl (like 4 or 5) and scare my aunties with them, they would scream and drop whatever they were holding because it scared them so badly! i thought it was soooo funny. we called them banana slugs, don't know if that's what they're called, but anyway, i haven't thought of that story forever until i saw those pictures! gotta love seattle... =)

Thanks for reminding me of home. That's a decent looking slug, and the hi-res image really is a nice close-up. Have you seen the spotted ones yet? Those guys are gigantic.

I think I like living in the desert of Utah. All the slugs were about the size of my finger nail. Leave out pie tins full of beer to kill them. That's what we did. Or at least that's what my dad said he was doing out there alone in the backyard....

It looks like a hot dog (that men have)

banana slugs are huge! i think in middle school we were dared to lick one at outdoor education - greg is close enough to lick that one in the picture - i was almost scared for a second!

this thing was bigger, it got all scared and bunched up when I got close to it. and it had big antennas an inch long.

You know I love my baby
I like the way she hugs
People don't understand
She's a banana slug

BA-NA-NA-SLUGGGG

She's got just one foot
And she aint got no toes
She just hangs out in the forest
And helps it decompose

BA-NA-NA-SLUGGGG

Now some folks say that she's gross
But I won't hear that jive
If it weren't for my baby
The forest might not survive

BA-NA-NA-SLUGGGG

The way you shake your antenna
You know you give me such bliss
C'mon c'mon c'mon banana slug
Won't you give me a kiss

BA-NA-NA-SLUGGGG

Oh when you slide through the forest
You know you look so fine
C'mon c'mon c'mon banana slug
Let me lick on that slime

BA-NA-NA-SLUGGGG

Banana nana nana slug
Banana nana nana slug
Banana nana nana slug
