A large, dark purple-maroon slug is positioned on a wet, green palmate leaf with prominent reddish-pink veins. The leaf, resembling that of a castor bean plant (*Ricinus communis*), features multiple lobes and is covered in numerous small water droplets, indicating a moist environment. Minor irregular tears are visible along the leaf's edges. The slug, estimated to be 10-15 cm in length, exhibits two visible antennae at its anterior end. Both the slug and the leaf rest directly on a textured, light brown-grey ground surface, consistent with concrete or compacted earth. No individuals are present. The image includes an "OPPO F11" watermark in the lower-left corner. The precise location within Jos, Nigeria, is not visually identifiable from the image content.
