Grey Field Slug (Deroceras agreste)

Slug



Colour is exceedingly variable and ranges from bright white to almost entirely black; it is most commonly pale buff with darker blotches.

The tail is usually longer than the mantle and the keel short and distinct.

The sole is pale, commonly with a visible darkened central strip of gut contents.

The head and tentacles are dark. Mucus often appears milky, especially if the slug is roughly handled. Juveniles appear similar to adults.
