Fast moving slug

[Wilmslow]

Tried to google this, but cannot find anything like it.

I found what looked like a baby slug in the kitchen this morning – bent down to pick it up with tissue, the bugger shot off at lightening speed. This was a superman kind of slug. Really creeping me out.

Any ideas?

How about, the slug didn't move at all, you just fell backwards?

It is a turd. Still attached to the dogs arse by a tapeworm. The dog ran off when it saw you coming.

When you say 'shot off at lightening speed', what speed are we talking here in more everyday terms? Faster than a speed bullet? Like the swiftest arrow whizzing from a bow? Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly?

Faster than a Churchill after his bone.

Thank you Wilmslow.

Your original post spurred my imagination to google for fast moving slugs (is there such a thing, I wondered ?) and I came across this interesting article.

Nothing to do with slugs in the sense you meant, but it was a fascinating read, with it's own history, language, and etiquette.

I wonder if something like this has ever happened, or does happen, here in the UK ?

A silverfish perhaps?

The legs/antenna are not obvious in all species. Ours look like tiny slugs too.

I opened this thread expecting to see Wilmslow announcing he was changing his username.

A bullet IS a fast moving slug.

Needs something more than the palm of Wilmslow's hand to set it off though.

It's a miniature Alien Slug.

Tonight it will burrow into your brain.

HTH.

It's a cunning plan hatched by Wilslow's next door neighbours.
