Invasive parmarion slug, Puerto Rico
Invasive parmarion slug (Parmarion martensi) on a gloved hand at the Estacion Experimental Agricola De Corozal, Puerto Rico. Parmarion slugs are native to Southeast Asia, but have become established in Puerto Rico and parts of the US due to human activity. Here they damage crops and native plant species. They are also a vector (carrier) of rat lungworms, a parasitic worm which can infect humans., by Preston Keres/US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
