Detachment 5
Safely back up in the tree, their four and a half hour long enterprise came to an end. Of course, each still had to find a safe place to lay eggs, but by that time I thought I had better turn in and said my farewell. That wasn't the last I saw of them, though! The next day, the follower was happily sliming its way around the woodpile again. Two days after that, the leader turned up too. Evidently despite their great adventure (at least seven or eight metres of travelling), they still considered the woodpile their home. Perhaps some of the little leopard slugs we see next year will be theirs!
