I saw one of them in Ireland a few years back and it had some really neat looking patterns. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] fireweed@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago* Unfortunately you don't have to go that far to find them; leopard slugs are among the invasive slugs taking over the PNW (I find them in my garden constantly). I will admit, though, that they are super cool, especially when they're full grown. Watching them hunt is a hoot, like a slow-mo kaiju. permalink fedilink source parent
