Chocolate Arion

The color of this slug can range from red-brown, through chocolate brown to black, but the underside is always red with stripes.

The Chocolate Arion, like all other slugs, uses 2 pairs of tentacles to sense its environment. The upper pair is used to sense light, while the lower pair provides the slug's sense of smell.
Both pairs can retract and extend themselves to avoid hazards and, if lost to an accident or predation, can be regrown.

Dutch name : Grote wegslak
German name : Grosse Wegschnecke
Latin name : Arion rufus
