"Ghost Slug" -- new species identified in South Wales


Check out this BBC Article and accompanying video about a new garden denizen recently discovered in South Wales, the white, worm-eating carnivorous Ghost Slug. It has been deemed an entirely new species, and named Selenochlamys ysbryda. So far, there isn't any concern about detrimental effects from the little dude, but the jury is still out.

Enjoy the possibility of finding an entirely new species whilst digging about in your garden,
