Hi Bugman,
Any ideas what this is. Found it in my yard in June 2003. Sorry, some of the pictures are fuzzy.
Regards,
Denis

Hi Denis,
Your Arrow-Headed Flatworm is actually a species of Planarium introduced, probably accidentally. It was first described in a greenhouse in Kew Gardens in London in 1878.
