Eeeewwwwwww.

As slimy as slugs are there are some pretty cool facts about them you might not know. Read on to ensure an exciting conversation at the dinner table tonight!

1. One slug can have up to 90,000 grandchildren. (You want to knock Grandma and Grandpa out fast so get that slug deterrent down early. Now is a good time as hosta shoots are starting to poke out.)

2. A slug’s blood is green!

3. Slugs can live for up to 6 years.

4. A slug has 27,000 teeth – more than a shark!

5. Only 5% of slugs are above ground at any one time, meaning there are a lot more we DON’T see.
