Aaargh, we're expecting visitors from Bourne this weekend I shall fumigate their car and put it through the car wash!
We have the big bright orange ones here too Lizzie (Arion Ater - the same as the big black ones). You're right, they don't damage much at all, and they eat the little grey slugs, so I let them be. Late this summer they were fornicating all over my back lawn in the early mornings!

After the nonsense about the Spanish slugs (and the article was about as scientifically stupid as one can get) I looked at the slugs which I often see on my early morning walks. I found at least a dozen longer than 6 inches and one which was 8 inches long. These were all the brown/black (same species by the way) ones. As said they are carnivorous. they eat other slugs. I think the British record is 16 inches long by the way, but not sure about that.

are boasting what a big slug you have?
Glad to say they were down the Lane, not sure I would like to tread on one in the garden in the dark!
