    From the photo I don't think that's Arion rufus - the orange slug - we have lots of them here - but the photo isn't clear ....

    Nothing like it I am afraid. There was no indication of eyes etc and it was hard bodied. Rough. I know this sound odd but it looked loke a large orange rice crispy.
