Can anyone explain the purpose of these shitty phishing emails I get every few weeks?
I've replied once or twice out of curiosity and never gotten anything back...

The first one is called a pickle or gerkin slug colloquially.
For more info check out Gil Wizens excellent blog post: https://gilwizen.com/leaf-veined-slugs/
We have about 30 different species of leaf veined slug in New Zealand (Athoracophoridae) but they are not well studied. They thrive in damp native forest and numbers peak in winter. They are recognisable due to their gorgeous leaf vein pattern however this is not present in childhood when they are more like gummies.
I recently found my second clutch of eggs and decided to raise them in captivity to make observations (and also cause they are cute af). I can't work out how to post pictures and videos in the same slide but here are two of the babies. Their are currently between 12-15 but they are the size of grains of rice so hard to tell. If anyone wants I will make another post with more photos.
Feel free to ask any questions I will do my best to answer.
