A small Arion slug doing acrobatics atop moss spore capsules. I don't often see slugs reaching such dizzying heights!

A tiny slug, with a pale cream-coloured underside and a grey-and-cream pattern along its tail and mantle, hands suspended across two tiny moss spore capsules that stand on the tips of very thin red-to-green stalks.

A Brown-Lipped Snail ( I think ) aka Cepaea nemoralis, racing across the open plains, in hot pursuit of its prey...

Did you know that New Zealand and other land masses in the south-west Pacific are home to LEAF-VEINED SLUGS?!

Unlike their omnivorous European relatives, these unique leaf-mimicking slugs eat only fungi. They breathe mainly through the skin of the back, which is kept moist by secretions passing along the many grooves.

What amazing creatures!
