Mantleslug (Genus Philomycus), taken September 22, 2025, in Georgia, US
A young slug out for a stroll on the leaves of a bush bowed down by the rain! Having gone out the day after a big storm, lots of water-loving invertebrates were out and about including crane flies, 8 billion mosquitoes, and slugs. Unlike the others, this individual was slithering right through a patch of sunlight, opening the opportunity for some nice, shiny photos. With the light reflecting off of it, you can see the uneven texture of its body very well—how cool!
