The Garden Slug is one of the smaller of the Round Backed
Slugs, but it is certainly one of the most destructive. It is a dark
brownish grey or black, smoother than the Large Black Slug, and with
a yellow or orange sole. Seedlings, lettuces,strawberries, and many
other low-growing crops are attacked by this species, and it often feeds
on potato tubers.
