Tallaganda is great isn't it. It's on my list to get back out there. Great sighting. I've been aware there was native slugs out there but I think this is the first sighting from there.
I can say this is a Cystopelta sp. but cant narrow it down more than that. Hopefully Michael123 can identify the species.
