This is the moment a woman discovered the late-night caller ringing her doorbell camera was a slug.
Full-time mum Lianne Jennings, 35, was in bed when she kept receiving notifications from her Ring doorbell about unusual activity outside her home in Brentwood, Essex.
But when she checked the footage on October 6 there was no one in sight – just a slug sliding over the doorbell’s camera.

The camera captured the slug slowly emerging into the frame from the bottom left corner, its antennas leading the way across the lens.
The night vision setting on the Ring doorbell makes the slug look like it is glowing – leading Lianne’s friends to joke that it was an alien.
Lianne said: ‘I’m assuming it’s a slug but it looks very, very weird – especially when the luminous thing lights up around his stomach.
‘I was in bed and got notified that something at my front door was making motion.
‘I was a bit freaked out first and then when I played it back, I started laughing!
‘I put the video on my social media and everybody was messaging me to say that they found it all quite funny!

‘When I took my daughter Gracie to school yesterday morning, I did have a look to see if there was a trail but there wasn’t anything there.’
Lianne said: ‘When I showed my friends, they were a bit freaked out – they gave me the kind of look like they thought there was a ghost or an alien or something.
‘That made me laugh because I don’t believe in aliens, but considering I saw two little antennas pop up, it was either a very green man from space or a slug crawling on my doorbell.
‘I’ve had the doorbell for about a year now and my daughter found it very funny – she was a bit freaked out when she watched it this morning, she said it looks like an alien slug.’
