I is for Invasive Iberian-Indigenous Immigrant

I wondered - Is this Individual what Is known In Wikipedia as:

The Spanish slug, scientific name Arion vulgaris, more commonly known in English-speaking countries under the incorrectly applied Latin name, Arion lusitanicus, is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Arionidae, the roundback slugs.

This is a highly invasive slug species. It is often considered a pest, not only in areas where it has been accidentally introduced, but even in places where it is indigenous.

It Invaded Norway during the latter '90s In a large scale Immigration that Immersed us In an Iberian Infection of our gardens.

In fact, It got so bad, that Immense restrictions were Instigated to keep this Invader from coming Inside our horticultural Institutions.

Or Is It just Itself?
