Is this a Grey Garden Slug, D. reticulatum or D. invadens, the Chestnut Slug, also known as the Netted Slug? I'm not absolutely sure.

Deroceras reticulatum is the most common slug in Europe, is widespread in Britain and may be found in gardens. This one was in my garden compost bin.

Drocerus invadens was introduced to Britain in the 1930s. It is common in nurseries, but also found in parks and gardens.
