SPH-3422 - The Notorious New Zealand Flatworm Takes the UK by Storm!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the incredible sight of a New Zealand Flatworm coiled on a leaf. Hailing all the way from its native land, these fascinating creatures were introduced to the United Kingdom in the early 1960s and have since made themselves quite at home. Measuring up to an impressive 20 cm in length, these flatworms have become increasingly common in Scotland, northern England, and Northern Ireland. However, their presence is not without controversy. These invaders pose a significant threat to earthworm populations as they consider them their main delicacy! Steve Hopkin's lens has captured both the beauty and menace of this alien species that now roams freely across European soil. With their slimy bodies and unique coil-like shape, these worms are truly one-of-a-kind. While some may view them as unwelcome guests disrupting ecosystems, there's no denying that they make for an intriguing subject of study for wildlife enthusiasts like us! So let's marvel at SPH-3422's audacity as it conquers new territories while devouring earthworms along its path. Remember folks; don't underestimate the power of nature's surprises!
