Orange slime for Gisela.
If you have some info on this then we can add it here. 
Let me know if you want the larger photos and I will email it to you.

I saw it only once - early morning.  By midday the
bubbles have all "melted" into a thin  layer of orange liquid.

If I had a scientific mind I would not have picked it up
but I wanted to have a closer look and did not realize it was so very
fragile.




To give some idea of size.  The snail was not bigger than my thumbnail.
The green leaves are from a very small (weed) groundcover of  the Euphorbia family.
I like that ground cover even if it is seen as a weed. 
It is too small to overgrow  my aloes and it is drought resistant.

There was no sign that the slime damaged the plant in any way.
