Bipalium

Bipalium adventitium

Description:

Commonly known as the "Hammerhead Worm". It's an invasive species and apparently preys on other worms, snails, etc. Known for ruining gardens! Very different and pretty, though, it comes out after rain storms. It can grow to be very long, the one that I spotted however wasn't very.

Habitat:

Gardens,

Notes:

Found on the wall of my home after a storm, not very long.
