With his massive size and dignified demeanour (as long as you ignored the trail of thick slime he left behind), this impressive slug, possibly an adult Limax maximus, caught my eyes on my way up the mountain, at about 1,000 metres of elevation. On my way back, he was still there, pretty much in the same spot.
Greetings from Switzerland!
I created this weblog to share with others my interest in gastropods - or "snails and slugs", if you prefer. Here on the web I go by the nick of Schnäggli, which is - unsurprisingly, I guess - Schwiizertüütsch (Swiss German) for a snail.
This blog is a both a resource for others who may find in it useful information and a personal journal in which I record my experience, discoveries and encounters with all sorts of gastropods.
