Spiny Oak Slugs

18 years ago

Hi, I was out on a woodland walk with a friend today and happened to look into some wild raspberry bushes and saw something curious:

I think they are so cute and amazing. My pictures do not do them justice. I brought them home even though I took pics to ID them. (I felt a little greedy collecting them, but I also saw a Daddy-Longlegs approaching.) The adults don't look too fancy, but in June I saw this moth hanging out near my front door and was taken with the green on his wings and snapped a pic but wasn't moved to ID him. But I wonder if the slugs and the moth aren't somehow related? I can't really tell of the moth is the adult from the pic I have in Wagner's.

If no one knows right off the bat, then I'll look further into it.

Just thought I'd share the cool cats. I've been hoping to see one of those sluggies.
