Spiny Oak Slug - Euclea delphinii

Catoctin Mountains, Frederick County, Maryland, USA
September 17, 2014
Size: around 3/8"

My first Spiny Oak for 2014.
Note the black marks at its posterior. They appear to part of its body.
The light coloration at its mid section suggests something might be amiss.
...parasitized, perhaps?
