Noticed 3 MASSIVE slugs in the composter today.  However, they are very different to the usual blighters I see.  They were almost tiger like, with yellow and black stripes.  I seem to have it in the back of my head these might be good guys that help the compost ferment or am I just being hopeful??

As far as I know, anything that is eating and pooing in the compost bin is doing a good job.

Like these? Leopard slugs    They can grow to about 7-8 inches are are certainly good guys
