Anyone Know What These Are??
Hey everyone,
I live in California and have seen these for years, but never have figured out what these are... They are almost leaf shaped and have a thing that comes out of one end that they use to pull themselves across the floor or walls. I don't think they are a nuisance although they pop up every once in a while. Thank you in advance for your assistance! -David |

Re: Anyone Know What These Are??
Hi Celtic,
Thank you for the reply...I don't think they are slugs, however. I have a bit of experience with slugs being from the Pacific NW...these ones are flat and do not have they typical slime coating...they are some other type of insect, but I just have no idea what they are. There are enough that get inside that I would like to control them if I can figure out what they are. Thank you again, David |

Ugly.
Slug ugly.  Sprinkle some salt on them. If you want to be really humane, leave a saucer of beer.... they can die happy.

Looks like it might be the night of John and Lorena Bobbitt's argument.

Try pouring salt on them and see what happens...That will tell you the truth in what it is.

They look like a type of Case Moth, these crawl along by sticking there head out and grabbing the floor and pulling thereselves along.
They can also climb walls like this. |

It's not a slug, it's just a homeless snail.
