It was introduced to Halifax in the late 930s, but was restricted to the S end of town until about 10 years back, when it appears to have been moved around with bedding plants.. 

That is the first reports from Brier Island.

Have reports from Wolfville, New Glasgow and Sydney  (as well as a handful throughout HRM.

Has anyone else encountered them?

Andrew

Hi all,
I found what I believed to be a Giant Slug, Limax maximus, on the Northern Point of Brier Island today. I have never seen this species in Nova Scotia before today. Does anyone know its status in the Province?
I posted a photo at https://www.flickr.com/photos/92521211@N05/28706383465/in/dateposted-public/.
It was about 15-20 cm in length before it started to curl up when I was taking the photo.
Thank you,
John
