What is a Slug?
Slugs are soft-bodied, slimy creatures that belong to the same family as snails, but without a visible shell. They glide slowly across gardens and forests using a special layer of mucus that helps them move and keeps their bodies moist. Most slugs live only one to two years, although some can survive a bit longer in cool, damp environments. They are very light, usually weighing just a few grams, and their soft skin feels smooth and slippery. Slugs do not make loud noises, but they might produce gentle, squishy sounds as they move along surfaces. These creatures are often found in gardens, under leaves, or in moist soil where they feed on plants, fungi, and decaying material. Though gardeners sometimes consider them pests, slugs play an important role in nature by helping break down organic matter.
