Land Planarian

Dear idutq,
This is a Land Planarian, and after looking at Ask.Com, we believe it is the Blue Planarian,
Caenoplana coerulea.  According to the dedicated Ask.com page on the species, it is also called the Blue Garden Flatworm and “This flatworm’s native range is eastern Australia and New Zealand. This species has however been accidentally introduced to the USA, including California, Florida, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina and Iowa.”
