slug fest

Early Autumn Yellows; casein on board; 9.75" x 6"
 
The red cabbage patch has become a refuge for slugs.  They're quite crafty at working themselves into the tight wrappings of the cabbage heads. 
 
I like to use them in my slaws and smoothies - the cabbages - not the slugs.  So every time I pick a head of cabbage - or pull one out of the frig - I check it as carefully as I can for slugs.  When I find them (notice I use the word 'when' and not 'if') I toss them into my compost bucket to haul out later to the bin.  I'm no Buddha but I do like to be as kind as I can be to animals. 
 
Mosquitoes aren't animals.
