I'm not sure if this guy qualifies as a bug, (I think he should) but we encountered him in the Pacific Northwest on vacation last Spring. My Husband calls them Banana Slugs. I almost threw up because I found him under the trash can handle when I went to open the trash can. (I touched him. UUGGHH-BLECK!) Yes, in all of his Slugginess. He was a good 8-10 inches.

I had to move one that was on other half's motorcycle cover and couldn't believe how heavy it was. They got a lot less cute that day, lol. I do love a slug though. really anything with eyes on stalks:D

Hubby said they get big & or small depending on the amount of moisture around. Can you imagine a few of them together? I would certainly get sick.:shocked5:
