The Banana Slug

Moment of Eww: Banana Slug vs. Snake

On a scale of 1 to banana slug, how sluggish are you feeling this Monday morning?The Pacific banana slug (Ariolimax columbianus) is the second largest terrestrial slug species in the world! They can grow to be almost 10 inches long. Often compared to the appearance of bananas, they can exhibit many colors from yellow to black, sometimes including dark spots. These slugs help with decomposition on dark, damp forest floors by feeding on decaying matter. | The Xerces Society
