slugs are eating my pansies

caught in the act

Outtakes from the last time I was out photographing flowers. These are randomers from a tray of bedding I bought last year sometime - still flowering until they're done, as pansies do. I did not notice the slug when I was taking the photograph, strangely. Slugs like pansy petals. I remember one year I had lovely black pansies and overnight a little slug swarm ate every last petal. The smears I left behind after I found that were black with petals. I can eat the pansies too, but the food value isn't high, either in terms of nutrition or flavour. They turn up, sprinkled over food at one of our sweeter local eateries. Not sure I fancy these though.
