Cobalt blue...when I look a bit longer, yes there is some blue on the back.
I would say it is the sky reflection, the slimy was most definite black

The shot was made in the late afternoon hours, the reason for using 1600 ASA.

Kind regards, Dusko.

Have never seen one this dark before. I wonder what that round spot is on its` side? Nice shot Dusko

Thanks beetleman,
I know what you mean. I have seen this black specie for the first time in Scandinavia. The most common European slug is brow, as far as I know.
The hole in the body could be the respiratory organ, really guessing here.

Regards, Dusko.

The spot on it's side is the female part of it's reproductive organs so to speak. I believe that snails have both male and female sex organs.

Really like the shot, looks realllllly dark purple over here. nice framing to.

Keep 'em coming!!

All the best,
