Slugs: Searching for the perfect salad!

During a hot July morning I noticed a grayish slimy track across the concrete driveway. I was surprised at the tracks as it was the driest day of the summer to date. Following the tracks I found what made them, a slug. Slugs are most active at night; their tracks are usually seen more than the slugs themselves. Slugs’ biggest concern is drying out so it tends to seek shelter during the day under debris or in the soil.
