BANANA SLUGS!

Also known as Ariolimax, these little guys are actually really interesting creatures! They get their name because they resemble ripe (or overripe) bananas! They can grow up to 9.8 inches long making it the second largest slug in the world!

They are super slimy because they have to stay moist to survive! So they ooze slime, and bury themselves in dirt and leaves until they are moist again.

Please comment down below if you think Banana Slugs are scary or creepy to you! Or if you love Banana Slugs!

Also comment if you have any favorite creepy animals you'd like me to research next!

Do your own research! I found all my information on National Geographic!

I love this so much!! Beautiful drawing with a great balance of realism and style, I also love all the fun facts about these slugs!
I don't really find slugs particularly scary or creepy, perhaps a little gross though, once as a kid I was jumping in leaf piles and a slug ended up in my hair haha! If you're looking for more inspiration I'd suggest any critter in the Thomisidae family, they're the little crab spiders that can be both creepy and (in my opinion) super cute! I hope you continue this series, I'd love to see more!!
