Deroceras invadens - top view, Heesch, Netherlands Note the slime trail :)<br /> <br /> Found on our backyard garden floor, which looks like wood, yet is actually stone. In dutch this species is named &quot;zwervende akkerslak&quot;, which translates as Wandering Field Slug. Identification is done by an expert without much explanation, but reference photos seem to show a match. I estimate the size at about 7cm.
