I have included this photo of a Pacific Banana Slug. We saw this slug when we were in Oak Harbor Washington in April. You will not find this guy in your gardens here in the mid-west so don't worry!!To tell if slugs are eating your hosta's, you look for little holes in the leaf. If you see just one or two small holes you may not have slugs, but you will want to check the plant in a day or so to make sure there are not any more holes. Slugs look like a snail with out a shell. You can look on thte under side of the leaves for them. Slugs can defolige a hosta in no time if you are not carefull.
