Description
In three years in a row, I even managed to find one of my favourite snails again. Semilimax semilimax, a semi-slug. These are gastropods, who are a transition between normal snails with a fully developed shell, and the true slugs who almost completely lost theirs. The semi-slugs still have their shell, but theirs are too small to withdraw into and usually just serve to protect their most important organs. Quite the weirdos and fit well into the spooky season.
(This may be even my best photo of the species so far)
