Limax maximus (Fig. 19) has been seen frequently to make its
way into a dairy and feed on raw beef.[54] Individuals kept in
confinement are guilty of cannibalism. Mr. W. A. Gain kept three
specimens in a box together, and found one of them two-thirds
eaten, “the tail left clean cut off, reminding one of that portion of a
fish on a fishmonger’s stall.” That starvation did not prompt the crime
was proved by the fact that during the preceding night the slug had
been supplied with, and had eaten, a considerable quantity of its
favourite food. On two other occasions the same observer found one
of his slugs deprived of its slime and a portion of its skin, and in a
dying condition.[55] An adult L. maximus, kept for thirty-three days in
captivity with a young Arion ater, attacked it frequently, denuded it of
its slime, and gnawed numerous small pieces of skin off the body
and mantle.[56] The present writer has found no better bait for this
species on a warm summer night than the bodies of its brethren
which were slain on the night preceding; it will also devour dead
Helix aspersa. Mr. Gain considers it a very dainty feeder, preferring
fungi to all other foods, and apparently doing no harm in the garden.
Fig. 19.—Limax maximus L. PO, pulmonary
orifice: × ⅔.
Limax flavus, which is fond of inhabiting the vicinity of cellars,
makes its presence most disagreeable by attacking articles of food,
and especially by insinuating itself into vessels containing meal and
flour.[57] It is particularly partial to cream.
Slugs will sometimes bite their captor’s hands. Mr. Kew relates
that a Limax agrestis, on being stopped with the finger, while
endeavouring to escape from the attack of a large Arion, attempted
to bite fiercely, the rasping action of its radula being plainly felt.
According to the same authority, probably all the slugs will rasp the
skin of the finger, if it is held out to them, and continue to do so for a
considerable time, without however actually drawing blood.[58] While
Mr. Gain was handling a large Arion ater, it at once seized one of the
folds of skin between the fingers of the hand on which it was placed;
after the action of the radula had been allowed to continue for about
a minute, the skin was seen to be abraded.[59] Another specimen of
Arion ater, carried in the hand for a long time enclosed in a dock leaf,
began to rasp the skin. The operation was permitted until it became
too painful to bear. Examination with a lens showed the skin almost
rasped away, and the place remained tender and sore, like a slight
burn, for several days.[60]
Helix pisana, if freshly caught, and placed in a box with other
species, will set to work and devour them within twenty-four hours.
The present writer has noticed it, in this position, attack and kill large
specimens of H. ericetorum, cleaning them completely out, and
inserting its elongated body into the top whorls of its unfortunate
victims in a most remarkable manner. Amongst a large number of
species bred in captivity by Miss F. M. Hele,[61] was Hyalinia
Draparnaldi. In the first summer the young offspring were fed on
cabbage, coltsfoot, and broadleafed docks. They would not
hibernate even in the severest frosts, and, no outdoor food being
available, were fed on chopped beef. This, Miss Hele thinks, must
have degenerated their appetites, for in the following spring and
summer they constantly devoured each other.
Zonites algirus feeds on decayed fruit and vegetables, and on
stinking flesh.[62] Achatina panthera has been known to eat meat,
other snails (when dead), vegetables, and paper.[63] The common
Stenogyra decollata of the South of Europe has a very bad character
for flesh-eating habits, when kept in captivity. Mr. Binney[64] kept a
number for a long time as scavengers, to clean the shells of other
snails. As soon as a living Helix was placed in a box with them, one
would attack it, introduce itself into the upper whorls, and completely
remove the animal. One day a number of Succinea ovalis were left
with them for a short time, and disappeared entirely! The Stenogyra
had eaten shell as well as animal. This view of Stenogyra is quite
confirmed by Miss Hele, who has bred them in thousands. “I can
keep,” she writes,[65] “no small Helix or Bulimus with them, for they
at once kill and eat them. They will also eat raw meat.”
Even the common Limnaea stagnalis, which is usually regarded
as strictly herbivorous, will sometimes betake itself, apparently by
preference, to a diet of flesh. Karl Semper frequently observed the
Limnaeae in his aquarium suddenly attack healthy living specimens
of the common large water newt (Triton taeniatus), overcome them,
and devour them, although there was plenty of their favourite
vegetable food growing within easy reach.[66] The same species has
also been noticed to devour its own ova, and the larvae of Dytiscus.
