Slug Lapel Pin - Science Jewelry

This lapel pin is modeled after the species Deroceras reticulatum, the grey field slug. Deroceras is native to Europe and is its most common slug species, but this slug is also found in North America, South America and parts of Asia. It prefers gardens and cultivated fields and is not found in forests. They are omnivorous, eating leaves, fruits, earthworms  and dead slugs while they themselves are preyed upon by carabid beetles and hedgehogs.

The lapel pin is 3.9 cm (1.5 inches) long.

Pin does not ship from Shapeways with a butterfly clasp. You will need to purchase or find one to attach the pin to a jacket or lapel.
