Fall is a great time to dig for slugs in the garden. The preschoolers were surprised to find slugs under the mulch in our playground. Most of the children enjoyed picking up the slimy mollusks. We noticed the slugs shared their living space with worms, ants, and centipedes.
Here are some fun facts about slugs:
- There are 30 different species of slugs.
- One regular gray garden slug, can lay 400 eggs a year. Oh my!
- a slugs blood is green!
Mrs. Stucker overheard one girl say "I won't touch a slug.....only worms!"
