Day’s Verse:
“So you’ll go out in joy,
you’ll be led into a whole and complete life.
The mountains and hills will lead the parade,
bursting with song.
All the trees of the forest will join the procession,
exuberant with applause.”
Isaiah 55:12

Some things are just too good to keep to myself. Jumping slugs is one of those things.

I found the article on northwest jumping slugs on the Nature Conservancy page. Turns out jumping slugs (of which there are a number of sub-types: the warty jumping slug, the keeled jumping slug, the dromedary jumping slug, the pale jumping slug, and the Malone jumping slug, to name just a few) are native to the northwest, unlike many of the exotic slug species that thrive here. Next thing you know we’ll start worrying about tree octopuses, too.
