They're different species but the 2 light coloured slugs are mating

mating at that age?lol.

Nice captures

This is an interesting read pertaining to slug reproduction:

"Slugs are hermaphrodites, having both female and male reproductive organs. Once a slug has located a mate they encircle each other and sperm is exchanged through their protruding genitalia. A few days later around 30 eggs are laid into a hole in the ground or under the cover of objects such as fallen logs. Some species hibernate underground during the winter in temperate climates, but in other species, the adults die in the autumn. A commonly seen practice among many slugs is apophallation, when one or both of the slugs chews off the other's penis. The penis of these species is curled like a cork-screw and often becomes entangled in their mate's genitalia in the process of exchanging sperm. Apophallation allows the slugs to separate themselves. Once the penis has been removed, the slug remains female for the rest of its life. Various species of slug can also reproduce via tiny "darts" of sperm which they fling in the direction of their mate's genitalia."

Nice shots. Interesting how there are different colors in the first shot.

i agree. although slugs dont gross me out for some reason these pictures are just creepy haha.

i like #3 the best though although 4 is a very close runner up

very good shoots

Excellent shots- but I hate slugs - the small slugs as mentioned above are just adults of a different species and are mating (twice at the same time) just be thankful we don't have penises on the side of our heads - could be embarrasing.
