and please make sure you look closer at your lettuce leaf. It took me years to discover that they had spots on their body. Who knew?

All of my early observations (and pictures) only showed the "frills". It was only recently that I took a shot that revealed the spotted body.

If you look at your pic you can see a couple of the body spots near the bottom. They are long white ovals sometimes with a light blue edge? Not sure of the edge color.
 
Of course now we're finding these slugs everywhere lol
