Silke,
That was so descriptive - unfortunate you did not have a camera to hand!
Perhaps the beer wasn't strong enough :-).

That reminds me of the time I put out a beer trap; it was a wettish day,
and the first slug came up FAST -- I stayed to watch in what I anticipated
to be sick fascination, only to see the slug dive in, submerge, slowly
travel along the bottom of the container and come out on the other side.
Probably with a slug's equivalent of an evil grin on its face. But there I
was, with the salt shaker...
