Slugfest 2009!

Sometimes it is better not to go out for a midnight walk because you may run across some things you would rather not see.  Last night I went out to check on some of my in-ground Angel Trumpets that I had not visited for a while and I was shocked to see this feeding frenzy going on.

The plant pictured above had 8 of the slimy devils munching away.  Good thing I had my garden snips with me.  Talk about partners in crime, here is a shot of an eating contest that was taking place at the same time.  Don't let the small size of that snail confuse you, they have a voracious appetite!
