Snails! Slugs!

sierra the snail

The snails are out! And they are huge! Well, it’s a small mint box, but it’s all we had. Still. Huge. And they are every where. But if it’s not the snails, it’s the slugs. Before getting half way down the street, you’ve got three or four under your shoe. Gross!

I thought that slugs were snails without shells or snails looking for a new shell. But that’s not entirely right. So it’s time to clarify. My bffl wiki tells me that snails are those with shells and slugs are those without. But there are lots of different kinds of slugs, which were never born as snails. Scientists think slugs descended from snails. But there are occasions that make it appear like some have not. For some reason, evolution doesn’t seem to explain everything clearly… And that’s about it. Snails and slugs. Yuck!
