Description

This large leafy slug is often seen on our shores. Despite this, I almost never get a good shot of it. But this splendid slug posed nicely for me!

Description

Sea slugs are hermaprodites. So each slug has both male and female reproductive organs. When two slugs meet, they fertilise one another.

The male organ is the white thing that emerges from the 'neck'!
