Hammerhead worms

2/3
This isn’t fearmongering—the hammerhead worm secretes a neurotoxin, reproduces asexually, and thrives in moist gardens. It devours earthworms, undermining forest and garden ecosystems. Once established, it's nearly impossible to eliminate.

Sad discovery in the garden today, a hammerhead worm.
He was swiftly dealt with: into a ziplock, salted, and off to the freezer. Sorry, invasive species, not today.

There are a lot of critters that I have learned about living here in #northcarolina and thought I would share some of them. This is a #hammerheadworm. It's an invasive pest that is not great news for the very important earth worm which tends to be their primary victim.

I've been hoping to bump into one of these. A wandering hammerhead worm (Bipalium vagum) wandering on our concrete during rain. If my identification is right they feed on snails/slugs rather than the earthworms that other species prey on.

Found this little critter in my #Sydney #garden. Anyone able to confirm it’s a #HammerheadWorm? Didn’t think they were in #Australia. #biology #gardening #whatisit @RBGSydney
