Field Notes

Description:

Not sure what type. It looks like a yellow slug (limax flavus), but from what I've read, they don't live around here.

I know one thing for sure though ,they have a very sharp sense of smell!! That really amazes me . the species I have seen are nocturnal.

No, you see huge yellow slugs in the Northwest, but this seems unusual for the New York area, but I am not a slug expert.
