but I'm pretty sure I've seen them here, otherwise I wouldn't have known what they are called. But I certainly don't see them much these days. I'm pretty sure I used to see them a lot when I was a little kid in Arlington. I may also have seen some in Somerville a few years ago, but I'm not positive.
Amazing. A lifetime of looking under rocks and I have never seen them here.
The first time I flipped over a rock in San Francisco I found one. The first rock I flipped over on Easter Island was teeming with them (along with non-pilling isopods and millipedes).
What gives?
Maybe it's a rural/urban thing. Back in the Connecticut river valley, where I grew up, there were only tiny gray slugs. Here in Boston we have the huge leopard slugs (as well as little yellowish ones I never saw growing up). Well, I have a mission now (stupid though it may be).
