Aaargh, we're expecting visitors from Bourne this weekend I shall fumigate their car and put it through the car wash!
We have the big bright orange ones here too Lizzie (Arion Ater - the same as the big black ones). You're right, they don't damage much at all, and they eat the little grey slugs, so I let them be. Late this summer they were fornicating all over my back lawn in the early mornings!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
After the nonsense about the Spanish slugs (and the article was about as scientifically stupid as one can get) I looked at the slugs which I often see on my early morning walks. I found at least a dozen longer than 6 inches and one which was 8 inches long. These were all the brown/black (same species by the way) ones. As said they are carnivorous. they eat other slugs. I think the British record is 16 inches long by the way, but not sure about that.

are boasting what a big slug you have?
Glad to say they were down the Lane, not sure I would like to tread on one in the garden in the dark!
