Slugs are neat there are many active slugs in my area this time of year and they are cool to look at. I saw one carefully navigate its eye around a blade of grass the other day without touching it. Crazy sophisticated behavior for something that doesn't technically (Edit: according to some stuff I've read but see below) have a brain.
Edit: I went and did some googling and I'm seeing papers speaking of slugs' brains so I guess this definition has changed and improved.
Edit 2: It's possible the usage is inconsistent as there are (some) papers going back a long way describing the cerebral, pleural, and pedal ganglia of the slug as a brain.
GIS is very cool and sometimes helpful for getting job type things congrats!
