Cool Ghost worm eating slugs

Gardeners in south Wales should not be surprised if they find an all-white, worm-munching slimy creature in their flowerbeds this summer.

A "ghost" slug found in a garden in Cardiff has been declared a new species by specialists at the National Museum of Wales and Cardiff University.

They have given the creature a partially Welsh name, Selenochlamys ysbryda, or ghost (ysbryd) slug.

Has anyone seen one as this was reported on BBC Online.

Being all white at least it will be easy to spot but I didn't know that slugs ate worms.
