Hunter slug killing a pill millipede. Slug about 7cm long. Millipede (rolled up) with a diameter of about 3 cm. Lot of slime had been produced. I could not see if the millipede was still alive or not.
On path in dune forest on a rainy day.
Slug hard and leathery
For millipede see observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/108715962
For a description of these slugs preying on pill millipedes see Herbert, D. (2000) J Zool, Lond 251: 1-5.
See observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/88392055 which also shows a hunter slug feeding on a pill millipede.

First known wild observations and discovery of natural fluorescent in an old world mammal or any mammal outside of North and Central America, images of the Springhare taken in August 2019. Incredible to see it’s orange and pink glow firsthand, especially when it wasn’t expected! Accidental discovery whilst out photographing scorpions under UV light

Shot using a Nikon D850 Handheld with a Nitecore Chameleon C6 ( 365nm ) torch.

For anyone interested in February 2020 a Scientific journal was released by a American research group ( no relation to me ) about this UV trait and science behind it from research in museum & zoo specimens in the US.

There are a few more images, but you might be able to imagine photographing a rather skittish nocturnal creature on foot with a UV torch in one hand and a large DSLR in the other during a unexpected encounter whilst also trying to expose a camera correctly for UV light isn’t the easiest thing to do the split second.
