Скачать или смотреть Found! Rare Ghost slug in South Wales

The Ghost slug (Selenochlamys ysbryda) has been quietly invading my home town of Caerphilly and the south Wales region for the last 15 years or so .. and I was blissfully unaware of them - until just yesterday when I spotted this strange long white slug on the soil surface!
After some quick research I discovered the Ghost slug is
native to Ukraine / the Crimea region
quickly spreading around the south west of the UK and Wales
usually lives under ground and eats worms - not plants!
has some distinctive unique characteristics to help identify one if you too spot what you suspect to be Ghost slug - such pure white antennae (other white slugs have grey or black marking / eyes on their antennae)
For more detailed info to help with identification look the the very useful webpages here https://museum.wales/articles/1021/Th...
