Snails and slugs

There are a lot of different snails in Svångemåla right now thanks to the relatively wet weather. Most of them are harmless but there is a particular one that is called the "murder snail" because it eats other snails and can do serious damage to all kinds of garden plants. It's proper name is Spanish slug (Arion vulgaris) but it is very difficult to separate from the Black slug (Arion ater) so I am not sure if the Spanish slug is in any of the pictures.  Please click on the pictures to enlarge them and, if possible, tell me if you can see any Spanish slug!
