They're quite amazing. - Joyce - Yes, I can see how it would be easy to whip up a relatively convincinb banana slug pudding using banana pudding mix and the colour would be pretty close to the same. Slugs and snalls and even butterflies are often attracted to the scat of various animals. I guess the oddest thing I've seen was slugs (not banana slugs) feeding on other crushed slugs that were in some tall grass that had flopped down on the road and been run over by car tires. I don't think they are particularly discerning in their food sources. Organic matter is organic matter to them! Jennifer - Well, I must admit that we did this partly for the visual humor!

Probably not really, but it was a fun gross out for us kids. Another gross out: I have seen slugs respond similarly to dog droppings along a trail.
