Of course they do, Margaret. I have no idea where they go nor do I care but
slugs are under the rocks every summer and chugging along the terraces
causing you slip and fall along with all that algae and moss. I have always
been amazed at what surfaces here every spring. One wonders how it all
survives but if it is a pest it is sure to return.
We have had no "parsley worms" or the caterpiller of the black swallowtail
butterfly this year. We always have them on the rue and on the parsley, a
colorful green, white, yellow and black. Anyone seen them?
