Slugs

Chocolate Arion, Black Slug. Spanish Slug, Portuguese, ... & has anyone ever seen an Albino?

Expert iNaturalist says:
According to the experts (Burke 2013, Forsyth 2004), Arion ater and Arion rufus can only be separated by dissection and comparing genitalia. The black morph of Arion rufus is not uncommon.
