Have you ever watched a slug? It is a slow watch. About the only thing they do quickly is hide their head under their mantle when disturbed. Wait. Watch. Finally one of the four feelers slowly comes out; then another and another and another. The two feelers on top are much longer and seem to check for obstructions as he slides along ever so slowly. He checks out a cavity in the wood and then slowly slithers his way back out.
Fascinating, you have made the slugs look attractive and funny, if that is possible! I love to watch insects, so does my cat, I have seen him watch a snail for ages :-)
ReplyDeleteSlugs seem to be the ideal drawing model. Slow movement. Nicely observed.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on these slugs and yes, they are the perfect subject. We don't get them around here with all the sand, thank goodness for that.
