turb, these were all under a large bin, and as far as I could tell, they were just trying to escape down holes or under cover when I lifted the bin. There were quite a lot of slugs, including Yellow Cellular Slug, Leopard Slug and Striped Field Slug, but no predatory behaviour that I could detect.

A nice find. Originally recorded from Fagus scrub, Barrington Tops, 1925. Subsequently found at Williams River.
