| 説明 | Limax flavus Linnaeus, 1758 - yellow slug in Ontario, Canada.This species is also known as Limacus flavus.The gastropods (snails & slugs) are a group of molluscs that occupy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Most gastropods have a calcareous external shell (the snails). Some lack a shell completely, or have reduced internal shells (the slugs & sea slugs & pteropods). Most members of the Gastropoda are marine. Most marine snails are herbivores (algae grazers) or predators/carnivores.Seen here is a yellow slug atop a roadside outcrop of Precambrian quartzite in Ontario. The yellow slug is native to Europe - it is an exotic species in North America.Classification: Animalia, Mollusca, Gastropoda, Pulmonata, LimacidaeLocality: Ottertail Lake Northeast Roadcut - glacial knob of quartzite on the eastern side of Rt. 638, northeast of Ottertail Lake & southeast of Rock Lake, north-northeast of the town of Bruce Mines, southern Ontario, southeastern Canada (46° 23' 30.59" North latitude, 83° 43’ 10.94" West longitude)---------------------------More info. at:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limax_flavusanden.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limacidae |
