I found this small red tick-like arthropod in a shallow still pond connected to Onion Creek in southeast Austin. I noticed it had 4 sets of legs and two large mandibles. There appears to be 2 eye spots towards the front of the animal and small hairs protruding from its body. It was approximately one centimeter long and barely visable with the naked eyes. In the water sample I collected, it was swimming around at high speeds.

If this slug is "common," it is only in distribution and abundance, not appearance.

I have many pics from this crazy weekend, but this was the show-stopper: Babakina festiva, a rarely encountered slug whose life habits are largely unknown. I saw it on the side of a rock I had just lifted, so it looked like a colorful pink blob of goo. It wasn't until I placed it in water that I realized what I had (thanks to Jeff's recent photos). And, of course, right as I was whipping out my camera, the tsunami hit.
