Notes From Her Outdoors

I love the great outdoors. There's a lot out there to keep me fascinated.

Throughout 2010 I attempted to blog every new thing I saw as it came into season, wandered past me, or was found hiding in a sneaky niche.

Now I have the task of naming all the life I recorded - life was never sweeter.

This year I'm recording the things that catch my eye. and hopefully, will catch yours too.

Wish me luck, I'm going out!

Loving Leopard Slugs


The pots were brimming with more than flowers today.


A fine, yet sturdy and surprisingly elastic, streamer of slime had drizzled from the rim of this large planter.


If you look closely, you can see that it has a hawser look to it, rather like twine.


It felt very slippery, rather than sticky and was present along the underside of the pot.

I reckon it's the ropey love making of LEOPARD SLUGS, but will ask
 AYDIN ÖRSTAN atSNAIL'S TALES 
 for his opinion.

  1. Not sure if that's leftover slime from a pair of mating Limax. I remember reading that they eat their own slime afterwards. So what you found may belong to another species.
