sluggish

Being a hiker for a while, I've had the opportunity to come across some mighty animals like grasshoppers, spiders, bees & slugs. Of all of these, slugs, specially, banana slug makes me feel "yucky". Well! That's my problem, isn't it. I have looked down on these creatures on the trail & have wondered "why".
Well, turns out, as all other creatures, they hold an important job!
Never in my wildest dreams would I google for a "banana slug"! Apparently, in reality, I did :-(
But seriously, considering their size & speed, they have a very important job & they do it every minute of every day.

Next time I see one on a trail, I might not lift my hat, but at least hang around to see what it actually does.
