That guy was all like LEECH FTW! He could have cut the worm in half after most of it was digested and both would have stayed alive. What a foolish sucka!

looks a bit like a flatworm.

Heres a quote from a website i found :

There are two kinds of flatworms in our yard. One kind is shiny, smooth and black, and both ends look identical so the only way to tell its head is to see which way it is crawling.striped terrestrial flatworm This species is not very large, growing no longer than two inches. I have only seen this kind after heavy rains when they come out onto the sidewalk.

The other type of flatworm grows as long as eight inches (I measured one that was crawling along the foundation of the house) and is commonly called a land planarian (Bipalium kewense). Most are smaller and the one pictured here is only about three inches long. This flatworm has a definite head (shaped like a little shield) which is very sensitive and I've seen them "feel" their way along with great care. They are a yellowish color with a dark stripe running the whole length of their body. Even though they get very long, they don't get much wider, and resemble a long, sticky piece of string moving through the vegetation. Sometimes, during hot, dry weather, I find this species curled up in a ball, surrounded by a coating of slime, under rocks or bricks as it waits for better conditions. Land planarians can regenerate after being cut up, much like their freshwater counterparts. While they may eat a few earthworms, the terrestrial planarians are an unusual and interesting diversion, amazingly being able to survive in our hot, dry climate.



I have also enclosed a pic of above described flatworms head, it does look similar.

what you guys think
