This morning, while taking the dog out, I came across this interesting worm on the sidewalk. I never saw one of these before so naturally i had to photograph it and then look it up on the web. It turns out it's a Hammerhead Worm (Land Planarian). Order: Tricladida, Family: Bipaliidae, Genus: Bipalium, Species kewense. Naturally, or rather "unnaturally", it's an exotic. What isn't any more in Florida?
