Did you know…

                     …it is said that slugs have four noses?

In actual fact, according to Boston University, slugs only have two noses…one on their head and one on their tail. The nose on their head is mainly used for smelling and the nose on their tail is mainly used for breathing. But slugs will use both of their noses to smell and breathe.

However, slugs are also capable of smelling with their eyes which is why some claim that this fact is why slugs have four noses!

So, it is small wonder slugs locate all the best plants and vegetables in your garden!
