Leopard Slug
Size about 8cm. Found during daytime while doing gardenwork on a rainy day. This slug is native to where it was found, in the middle of Zurich. This slug is feeding on decaying matter. It is also feeding on other snail eggs and preying on adult snails considered pests in gardens. Therefore the slug is considered very beneficial but is often killed by keen gardeners trying to protect their crop, actually to the opposite effect. By using slug poison this natural pest control snail is killed, too.
