What kind of slug is this?
Hi-
I found this slug in my garden in Northern Colorado (on the front range). I’ve never seen a slug this big in this state. Or with those "tiger" markings. What kind is it? Thanks…
Amy

Hi Amy,
Awesome image of a Leopard Slug, Limax maximus. It is commonly found in western gardens. Here is a wonderful site with more information.
