ricky_taylorDescription
Hunter slug killing a pill millipede. Slug about 7cm long. Millipede (rolled up) with a diameter of about 3 cm. Lot of slime had been produced. I could not see if the millipede was still alive or not.
On path in dune forest on a rainy day.
Slug hard and leathery
For millipede see observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/108715962
For a description of these slugs preying on pill millipedes see Herbert, D. (2000) J Zool, Lond 251: 1-5.
See observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/88392055 which also shows a hunter slug feeding on a pill millipede.
