It is listed as invasive in Wisconsin, but not in Minnesota and not nationally. It is found in ground litter and on herbaceous plants in forests, wet meadows adjacent to streams, and open and cultivated areas, including old fields and gardens.<\/p>\n<p>Orange-banded arion is 1\u00bc\u2033 to 2\u2033 long and slender when extended, short and bell-shaped when contracted. It is grayish to yellowish-brown and is covered with rows of pale bumps, giving it a granular appearance. There are two lateral, dark, blurry, longitudinal stripes. The area just below each stripe is yellowish, and the area below that is whitish. The head and tentacles are black.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.minnesotaseasons.com\/Snails\/orange-banded_arion.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.minnesotaseasons.com\/Snails\/orange-banded_arion.html<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fcbkbttn_like \"><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/blog.minnesotaseasons.com\/?p=1264\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\" layout=\"button_count\"  size=\"small\"><\/fb:like><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orange-banded arion (Arion fasciatus) is a common, exotic, land slug.
