My slug, Turtle


I was seeing what state the garden was in when I saw some white, turtle like eggs in the grass by a board. Having watched ear wig eggs hatch a few years ago (the mother stays with them) I was interest and even more so when I discovered that a slug with a white ball hanging from it was a few inches above the pile. I got Libby (who said "That's gross"), Ann Marie, and Mom who got Grandma and Grandpa to come see my slug, Turtle, give birth. There are 17 eggs so far.

Dad found this site for me: http://www.cirrusimage.com/mollusca_garden_slug.htm

Oh, good. You were able to add a picture. I still think it was about one of the coolest things ever to see the egg pop out.
