   Here's the first leaf-veined slug we've ever seen in our NZ suburban garden. It's the 404th species of invertebrate we've now found in our garden, after over ten years of looking for such things. My wife found it under an old wood heap (over the fence from where our chickens forage).

   NZ leaf-veined slugs all eat fungi, and are a welcome addition to gardens, unlike the introduced European slugs and snails that eat NZers vegetables.
