[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This slug was photographed near Cowles Bog in the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore Park, not sure of the ID at all. I've never seen a slug of this color here, before or since. It was about 4-5 cm long. The only thing that sort of fits is Deroceras agreste, which can be yellow, but I'm really nowhere near being sure of that ID. Any ID help would be appreciated.

Great Macro shot John,
I must say the clarity and detail are magnificent. The exposure is just right and the colours are eyecatching. I can't say I would have ever thought I would be saying nice things about a slug, but you did a fine job on this image.
I'm not sure of it's ID but I have plenty of them every summer that like to feed on my rhubarb and Rosie's flowers. I wage a real battle with them every year.

Hi John,
That looks like a banana slug to me.
We have them in our redwood forests here in Northern California.
I have no idea if they also live in Indiana, or if it is a different species.
Good luck on the ID.
