Weird Suburban Wildlife

Do you see the window bird feeder attached to our patio door?  One dark night not long ago, the patio door was marked by the tell-tale silver trail of a slug, which was crawling up the glass, making his way to the feeder. How did he know that his laborious journey would pay off with a feast of birdseed? Who knew that slugs even like bird seed?  After the slug had been feeding for awhile, Phil removed him and put him on the grassy hill beyond the patio to continue his slugly life. (You wouldn't say that such a determined creature lived a "sluggish" life, would you?) A few days later, he crawled up to the feeder again for more seeds, but after that, we never saw him again. 

Which reminds me of a cartoon I saw in The New Yorker magazine. A snail climbs slowly up the exterior of a house and rings the doorbell.  The man who answers the door is pretty annoyed when he sees it's just a snail that's brought him to the door. He snatches him off the doorbell and flings him as far from his house as he can.  The snail picks himself up and begins slowly making his way back to the house. Once again he climbs and rings the bell. When the man answers, the snail indignantly asks, "What was that all about?"

This is an unusual bug we saw on our porch furniture.
