Fellow Slug Fanciers

From: Ted.Held at hstna.com on 2001.05.03 at 19:58:40(6363) This query is only obliquely related to aroids, but I could not hold back, given aroiders' feelings about slugs. After a lifetime of slug killing, for which my soul will surely pay, I found an albino yesterday. A full-grown, healthy adult, it has all the morphological characteristics of our run-of-the mill midwestern garden slugs, except for color. Has anybody else ever seen an albino? I resisted turning it into paste, my usual practice. It looks nice in a jar on my desk with its regularly-colored companion. Come to think, I might be persuaded to sell it, should anyone be interested. Or donate it to the International Slug Museum. +More Serious responses only, please. Ted.Held@HSTNA.com
