Slug, or land slug, is a common name for any apparently shell-less terrestrial gastropod Mollusca. 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 and 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. An insect crawls on the floor of a house and shrinks when touched at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 28/09/2023.
