garden slug
Slimy plant pest
A garden slug is a common slug found in gardens and cultivated areas, where it feeds on plants and is considered a pest.
Unlike snails, slugs lack external shells.
They're soft-bodied, leave slime trails, and thrive in damp conditions: The garden slugs decimated my lettuce overnight.
