Index of Subjects --Apple-Mail-95-8587587 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Limax maximus is the species that lived in my compost for several years, roaming up to 20 feet at night. I never witnessed the aerial mating but found plenty of drying mucus strings on my house. They ate only dead matter and possibly moss from the vinyl siding, never came near the garden. They have not been present the last two or three years. I wonder why.
