Slug, or land slug, is a common name for any apparently shell-less terrestrial gastropod mollusk. Most species of slugs are generalists, feeding on a broad spectrum of organic materials, including leaves from living plants, lichens, mushrooms, and even carrion. Some slugs are predators and eat other slugs, snails, or earthworms. Slugs' bodies are made up mostly of water and, without a full-sized shell, their soft tissues are prone to desiccation. They must generate protective mucus to survive. Many species are most active just after rain because of the moist ground or during nighttime. A land slug was observed crawling on the floor of a house and shrinking when touched at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 19/03/2024.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Image is a composition of 4 interval timer photos to show moon rising path) Full “snow moon” shining behind clouds is seen from L’Aquila, Italy, on February 24th, 2024. The name "Snow Moon" comes from ancient Native American traditions. At this time of year, in many parts of North America, snow was still on the ground, giving the moon a particular color and brightness. Our satellite will reach its apogee, the farthest point from Earth in its orbit: it will appear about 7% smaller and 15% less bright than a normal full moon. Full Moon of February 24th, 2024 will be the smallest of the year.
