On Earth Day, I found an Arrowhead Flatworm!
Apr
22
How fitting! With my morning coffee and cigarette, I saw this most odd looking worm. It has a fan shaped head, so I took a quick couple of pics and Googled for some answers. Lo-and-behold! Its an Arrowhead Flatworm according to the bug expert. A weird looking bugger, but a totally harmless garden worm. They do get quite big. This one is about 15cm long, but on whatsthatbug.com there are some big ones! Funny, but nowhere I found record of them in South Africa. Its the first time I’ve seen one of these myself!
Here is some of the photos I took:

Ha! Dude, LOVE the fact that you used a Camel Box as the reference point. That’s my brand!!
@Nic lol, good taste mate!
This looks just like a snake… are you sure it wasn’t one???
Good fine anyway, you should contact some important people and show them your discovery! You might make R20,000 in the process
lol @Justin… Its a Vern snake!!! I must admit, when I first saw it, I did think it was a snake. Its a worm though! It moves a lot like a snail, actually! Too slow for any snake I know of!
that be some freaky-assed planaria happenin’ right there…
What a freaky discovery! Thanks for sharing Stii!
@Willie & @DaveI also thought that shit! Freaky!
