Let me first thank Mary Jane Adams for lending her expertise in the area of "slugs." She was extremely helpful with proofing all the applicable text used here and for providing some great photos. To say the taxonomy where these creatures are involved is complex is an understatement. And because certain animals have different aspects, even though basically looking the same, it's necessary to subdivide them into applicable groups. As you explore these attached groups, those characteristics will be described. From there, explore the species mentioned. You'll find many pretty species, simply shown for identification only, and almost all deserve to be left in the wild.
