Autumn has finally cooled to its normal temperatures & apparently all the bugs want into my house now. I had to escort out two wasps & this slug fella today.

Day 26 of posting cute creatures we found on our field trip:

Ash slug (Limax cinereoniger) is the largest slug in Europe and, according to the Guinness book of records, the longest terrestrial slug in the world. Despite its formidable size of up to 30cm (!) this slug is not a pest. It lives only in ancient forests, far away from human settlements and feeds on lichen, moss and fungi. The colors of ash slug vary from this light grey to black, but it always has light colored keel on its back.

The internet has nicknamed this slug “glubby” because if you pick it up it curls up in its defensive pose and produces sticky mucus which makes it look very… well, glubby:

As a child I always thought they had to be toxic in some way because they just look so cool.

found a leopard slug today and we became best friends. She even let me literally pet her repeatedly for minutes without any sign of fear of discomfort. Aand was comfy enough to pull her eye stalks in and take a nap on my hand for lik 5 min. She didn’t want to leave my hand :( i had to struggle to get her slimy lil self back onto wet leaves on the forest floor. I love nature I love creatures I love the earth I could cry

Limax maximus (literalmente, "maior lesma"), conhecida pelos nomes comuns de lesma cinza grande e lesma leopardo, é uma espécie de lesma da família Limacidae , as lesmas com quilha. Está entre as maiores lesmas com quilha, sendo Limax cinereoniger a maior. A lesma adulta mede de 10 a 20 cm (3,9 a 7,9 pol.) de comprimento. A espécie tem um método de acasalamento muito incomum, onde o par de lesmas usa um fio grosso de muco para ficar suspenso no ar em um galho de árvore ou outra estrutura.

Invertober Day 30: The leopard slug, native to Europe and Africa, and also one of the larger slugs measuring between 4-8 inches long. I referenced the patterning off a few different photos, with an emphasis on ones that would remind me more of a leopard. Pentel brushpen, Windsor & Newton fine-line marker, and Prismacolor fine-line marker on Canson mixed media.

ROUND 1 POLL 1

ADRIEN/KAGAMI:

"They know how to have fun, be it competing or sneaking out. They are both very supportive in their own way and just care a lot. They make each other strive to try new things, like when they both rebel, or when Kagami wanted to befriend Marinette knowing that Adrien holds her in high regard, or when Kagami brings out Adrien's unrestrained side. Adrien supports Kagami's passion for art, Kagami enjoys listening to Adrien playing the piano. They share some sweet gestures, such as a soft cheek touching, or lifting the chin to leave a kiss on the corner of the mouth, and make them casual. Just being close to each other makes them smile. They can be cute and dorky together, as well as have important conversations about their relationship. I can talk a lot about them. Anyway, they deserve some appreciation, even if they may not win."

"They are- as the poets say … weird but fucking beautiful!!!. No but seriously They’ve got so much potential! They’re messy and complicated and wonderful and they help each other grow and evolve."

LILA/MAX:

"A fun way to recontextualise one of the dumbest scenes in the show. Also academically smart x socially smart is a very fun dynamic"
