Sheathed Slug Zacoleus idahoensis
A slug found in Idaho and Montana, USA, and British Columbia, Canada. It has been found in mainly coniferous forest stands. Moist microhabitats and refuges provided by decaying logs appear to be important. The slugs feed on fungi and liverworts, and probably also on other live and decaying vegetation. It is hermaphroditic (possessing both male and female reproductive organs) and lays eggs.
