What is the Spirit?

and Ghost Slug is a carnivorous night slug discovered in Wales in 2006. The closest relatives of the ghost slug are found in Eastern Europe, which leads to the scientist to the belief that the ghost slug can be an established species. However, it is certainly a distinct species and has been awarded its own specific epithet: selenoclama ysbryda . Given the concerns that Ghost Slug is a superior, rather than a native species, scientists maintain tight cards about the spread of animals to ensure that they do not damage the native wildlife. In 2007, the gardener discovered another slug in Wales in Wales and brought it to scientists at the local university. As soon as scientists had a sample they could work with, they realized that a brand new species was discovered. At first glance, a slug was soaked, explaining their common name, as well as their specific epithet, which is derived from the Welsh word ysbryd , which means "spirit". These slugs are eye -free and have a set of sharp teeth that use as horns to campaign in prey, jAKOs are worms; After enlargement, the teeth are actually quite impressive. One researcher describes the eating process as similar to stir up a piece of spaghetti.

Scientists believe that ghosts slugs have probably evolved in the cave environment, which explains their lack of eyes and night habits. They could be imported to Wales as a hitchhiker of horticultural needs, allowing them to spread in Welsh gardens. These without slugs are certainly different from native Welsh species, which is unlikely to be Welsh origin.

The discovery of the Welsh slug emphasizes the roles that members of the general public can play in the sciences. If the curious gardener did not bring to the University of the Spirit Slim, scientists could discover and the slugs could extend extensively before it is highlighted to the scientific community. Instead, scientists have a lead in learning about a spiritual slug, which may be alreadyITSECE if slugs become a serious pest.
