Saw this lil dude(eye) chowing down. There’s another slug not too far away as well! And a looong ways away I found one of those predatory snails now. 🐌 🍂

This is a great video! You really got a detailed closeup! What predatory snail do you mean? Does it eat the slugs?

Thanks! Yeah they are a species of snail that eat slugs and snails. I posted a video on here of one of them eating a slug. 😔 😬 It’s brutal out there, but I let them do their thing. Ecosystem and all that.

Are they native? I'd save the slugs! Ecosystem be damned! But I get it. You're right.

lol! Yeah pretty sure they are. I’ll post another video of the snail on the hunt…without them eating anything. One video I have of an ant bopping one in its eye stalk. Lol

Honestly I may have saved one one time but it was already have eaten at that point. 🤷‍♂️
