Framed Print of Hatching egg of Arion hortensis
Eggs of the garden slug, Arion hortensis, photographed five weeks after they were laid, August ( Norfolk UK ).Slugs are members of the Pulmonata within the class Gastropoda; they breathe air through a rudimentary Ôé¼┼ôlungÔé¼ within the mantle. The eggs of A. hortensis are laid in batches of 20-50 in damp situations and take a few weeks to hatch at normal ambient temperatures in late summer. A. hortensis is a widespread pest of gardens, feeding on tender foliage. The picture shows part of a batch of eggs of A. hortensis that was laid in the soil within a flower pot. The eggs are 5mm in diameter. In the centre, a baby slug is emerging, head first, from its egg. It will take one year to attain its full adult size.
