Found on my boots amongst leeches, in rainforest, water ferns and blanket bush making up the understory. Brown barrel as the primary euc sp, Tallanganda state forest.

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.
