I have decided to nominate slugs, all of them, as a group mascot for the month of January. Most of the time, I feel like a slug, just an ordinary land one, nothing too fancy.
Slugs suit this endless month which seems to take forever to pass: day after grey day, cold, and wet dark.
Most January days are hard to distinguish.
In honour of those few lovely days when the wind abates and the sun catches the facets of snowflakes as they fall from the skies or lie in perfect drifts, I offer this stylish fellow, a Sacoglossan Sea Slug (Cyerce nigricans), surely one of the most dapper 2cm beings on this or any other planet.
