Yup, we have 'em big around here. :o
At least they're fashionable in Leopard print!   ;) 8)  lol

Hey, I'd take on one of these big slimey slugs any day,
rather than some of the slimey, unscrupulous characters I've seen here on the internet! ::)

I've not seen those type of slugs since we moved from Alabama. What I have here are flat slugs. I think that they are Hawaiian slugs. They don't do enough damage for me to worry about them. They do like hiding in the marginals. When I find them when I'm repotting, I toss them to the side and let them go their own way.

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

Unfortunately, the slugs here are commonly that big and the native Banana Slugs out in the forest are much bigger. They don't cause garden damage though.

YUCK! :o  They have to be about as gross as green horn tomato worms!  I can't stand to pull them off of tomato plants, I cut the whole branch off that they're on! :D

I haven't seen green horn tomato worms in years. Wow, they are huge. We don't seem to have them here but I remember them from horticulture class in Phoenix.
