Its just a slug. The birds will get it (if you don't despatch it soon) as it stands out in the green grass. On its own it cannot kill your lawn though they do eat plants.
Thank you - really appreciate it. Thought as there were a lot in the morning, maybe they were causing the brown patches
again, thank you
just found loads of these on my garden
, and worried about the dogs eating them - is there a way to "get rid" of them?
Ditto we've just got a pup and when it rains at night/morning I see hundreds of these on the lawn. Little white baby slugs, I think the birds have been helping clear them. Make the garden more attractive to them and hedgehogs.
You could use slug pellets and they will get rid of some of them, but the pellets will be much more harmful to your dogs than the slugs are.
The best thing to do is to apply nematodes regularly

and do the responsible thing and ensure that the dogs have the appropriate parasite treatment and it's kept up to date.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Thank you. I will try those - I have no pets so should be ok
