Field Notes

Description:

It was like a skinny slug. It's been raining. It was over a foot long. It almost felt like it would stick to my finger when I touched it. The fan shape at its head would shrink and expand as it moved forward slowly. Found in pflugerville by a pond.

Habitat:

Near the pond on a sidewalk while it was raining. Central Texas. 60 degrees out.
