Description
Not a big fan of these slimey creatures..
RE: the window on the side..
The pneumostome is a feature (the respiratory opening) of the external body anatomy of an air-breathing land slug or land snail. This feature is usually clearly visible on the right side of the animal when the pneumostome is open, but may not be easy to see when it is closed.
This is an opening in the right side of the mantle of a Pulmonata ordered or subclassed slug (suborder Stylommatophora) or snail, through which its single lung is filled with air.
The frequency of pneumostome closing and opening is typically less than 0.5 closures per minute in fully hydrated slugs and snails. The rate of closures per minute increases the more dehydrated the slug is.
Thank you for all your wonderful comments and favourites on my previous posts, i really appreciate it thank you..
Take care and have a nice day..

That's more about the snail than I ever knew! Super photo and educational as well! :O)
Gorgeous capture of this not-so-lovely creature!
wow a beautiful slug(if there is such a thing) lol super image
if you want, I can send a large package with further models of this “sort” to you... Beautiful photo - (whereas brrrrrrr)
Considering how difficult it must have been to capture that shot, and the patience it took, this is an amazing photo fit for National Geographic. Thanks for the background information, too. Otherwise I would have just thought it was an L.A. slug with a gunshot wound ;)
Fantastic color and super macro. Agree erland
PHEWWWWWWwwwwwww!!!!!!!! GORGEOUS MACRO & DETAIL :)
Superb image Aled, I'm with you on the dislike of these creatures, we have loads of them in our garden, they don't look as colourful as this one though. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!
