    This is the first time I have ever seen slugs in my wood. I’ve seen plenty of termites, bugs, centipedes and spiders but never slugs. I hope they burn well lol

    Those are nasty looking.

    I've not seen anything similar.

    What kind of wood and how long had it been split and stacked?

    Aussies can find some strange things. :rofl: :lol: Can you use them for fish bait?

    I hope you and Chris had a good time cutting wood together.

    That is a first for me to see.
    Really interesting.
    Looks like fodder for the camp fire/brush pile/burn barrel.

    they're ... kinda gross


    ... but maybe a good addition for the prepper thread.
    Are they edible or just one more thing in Australia that can kill you somehow ?

    I once found a 58cal. Mini in a round. Does that count as a "slug"? :D

    The white stuff is wood borer beetle larvae. Only attacks dead trees or dead parts of trees. They are here in the states too.
