User's notes
This is a follow-up to previous sighting 4384351 which shows the painfully slow escape of a slug away from the camera. It very slowly peeled away from the underside of the branch until it ended up hanging from a slimy thread. The thread eventually stretched sufficiently to break, depositing the slug in the undergrowth.
