Description

The Arion rufus or chocolate arion is one of the largest of the genus, making Herbert a special slug indeed. The upper pair of tentacles are usually darker than the body and have sight and smell function and the lower set sense taste and touch. The dark oval spot is the pneumostome which hides the respiratory pore, lung, reproductive organs and anus. When you put googlyeyes above the tentacles, they look like a funny moustache. The googly eyes project is the result of an exploration of nature, happenstance, face pareidolia, a pocket full of eyes and an appreciation of the absurd. Face pareidolia is the false perception of faces in nature. This may have a survival benefit as our brains quickly find faces both friendly and not so friendly. The googly eye is a black circle floating over a white disk and is often used to humorous effect. The slugs were not harmed in this process. The googly eyes were resting on top and typically were shed by the slugs within a minute or two, and if not, were carefully removed. Created for slug week 2022
