I was always quite puzzled. All the pictures of banana slugs I've seen so
far were of uniformly colored individuals, so I was just wondering whether
"my" guy was indeed a banana slug or another species...
I've never seen such a "blotched" slug in any of the natural history books
I've perused since I arrived here one year ago (well, I've not perused that
many, anyway).
