Mooseslimes sh-t them out when they invaded Europe.

Small graboids. They get bigger.

A colleague once tried to put a flatworm in his mouth, Justine recounted. The man still describes it as "one of the worst experiences of his life."

Truly weapons-grade stupidity.

The Ruger Single Six takes care of stuff like this.

The .22 LR cylinder loaded with #12 bird shot.

Give it a little time. With the flatworm also came a few fungi to keep it in check. My guess would be an Arthrobotrys species, but there are others that this flat head will contend with.

do they make good bait?

[TChad]

they produce small amounts of a substance called tetrodotoxin to immobilize prey.

TTX. You should not eat this worm.

Time for a RAID spray down!
Maybe they sell it on France.
Of course, then there would be water and soil contamination to deal with. Decisions, decisions.

Biologists knew that smaller worms, which eat escargot snails.......

Sacré bleu!

Fifteen years ago my garden had a super-abundance of earthworms; leaf litter disappeared very rapidly; there were several in every shovel of earth.

I have not seen one this spring in all my digging. Seven miles away where I work, there are plenty.

IIRC, North America did not have any earthworms until the Europeans brought them. Fungus broke down plant debris and still does in the more boreal forests. Minnesota was ordering fishermen not to dump their bait worms but carry out the extras.

Democrats?

The French should bake them up with a buttery herb sauce and serve them like escargot.

Here's a flat head:

Giant Predatory Worm....aka Former Director Comey.

Mongolian death worms

The veil is not “Islamic” firstly. Secondly, it’s for women, not for blokes. Thirdly, this “priest” is an idiot.

[doorgunner69]

Ah, any culture that will eat a snail will find a way to prepare a worm that big.
