A large species of slug is on the Indian Path Commons. I photographed one =
a number of years ago. I believe it might be a different species as it was=
the same size, but was all black and did not have the white markings on it=
. I was told at the time that it was rare here in Nova Scotia.

They were quite common around St. John's, Newfoundland when I lived there 1=
0 years ago. But I have not seen one in Nova Scotia.

Has anyone else encountered them?

Subject: [NatureNS] Giant Slug
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 tak=
ing the photo.
Thank you,
John
