Arion lusitanicus is the Latin [or scientific] name of the Portuguese slug. It's an unusual kind of slug in that it's a picky eater. Specifically, it doesn't like to eat the dead and decaying matter that most slugs [Gastropoda] favor. Instead, it prefers its plant body parts moist, fresh and alive.
