this is a nuisance here in germany. they come out normally in the evening and by wet weather, and eat the young plants totally. Erinaceidae (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erinaceidae) like to eat slugs, but these ones they don't like. No bird likes to eat these slugs.

As I don't want to use chemicals in my garden, i go out in the garden, when it is dark, collect these creatures and throw them away in the woods.

Subject: An unusual question
To:

This one is an unusual ID request though not completely unrelated to
plants. These slugs are very common here and I have been trying to find a
proper ID for some time now without success. I am hopeful that someone on
this group can help.

These grow to be about 10-15 cm long and emerge in large numbers just
before he monsoons.

Thanks.
Ashwini
