The particular area is near the coast, and so is VERY => wet. The only things that we saw moving(!) in the forest, INCLUDING birds, => were the slugs. I thought this was pretty bizarre. These things were => approx six to nine inches long, and they were the color of lemon-meringue(sp) => pie filling. Are these the famed banana slugs that received so much => discussion on the net recently? The reports that I got said that a REAL one => was covered with little brown spots like a banana, but these were spotless. I will offer to identify the slug for you if you will procure another and email it to me using the path below. => I nominate the lemon-meringue slug for the net.bizarre animal/mascot!! I second the nomination, pending verification that this is indeed a lemon meringue slug (Limex lemonus meringus). => Someone recently mentioned that they observed a hole in the sides of => slugs. I happened to run across a couple of slugs that appeared to be making => love in the grass, with one of the happy pair apparently making use of the => hole in some fashion. I couldn't see any corresponding on the other => partner(modesty on the their part), but it seems to me that the hole is a => vagina. Or are slugs hermaphroditic? => => Kchula-Rrit No comment. Too kinky. (This guy likes to get it on with slugs?) :-) Helen Anne {ucbvax,ihnp4,cbosgd,hplabs,decwrl,unisoft,fortune,sun,nsc}!dual!hav "J. Frank Parnell." "Ott . . . Otto."
