WormsArrow-headed Tapeworm photo
Hi Bugman!
Thanks for your website which helped me identify this arrow-headed tapeworm which I found in my backyard in Chattanooga, TN. You can’t tell the scale in the photo, but the worm was 12-14′ long. I would have included something in the photo to show the scale, but the sucker was moving! Just had time to get this one shot before he moved off the concrete patio into the grass.
Thanks again!
John
Hi John,
Your Planaria is commonly called an Arrowheaded Flatworm, not a Tapeworm. That was sure a large individual.
