When an amateur naturalist kept digging up strange, flat-headed worms in his garden outside of Paris, he knew something was amiss...

These worms, native to tropical Asia, were invading France — and nobody had noticed...

The worms are part of a group of predatory species known as hammerhead flatworms, which grow to over a foot long. They prey on earthworms in the soil and produce a potent cocktail of chemicals to immobilize their prey.

Like escargot, only longer.

Frogs eat worms.

I prefer to call the French, “Cheese Eatin’ Surrender Monkeys!” But then, I am biased by media.

Oh...for a second I thought they were talking about the Islamists....

Graboids

Yep. They're keeping it quiet, though. But when you see a large number of elephant guns in people's rec rooms, you'll know.

All these worms should be deported to the City of Worms in Germany, where they could be used to aid the grape vines there used for Liebfraumilch wine

Yikes! I think I’d notice.

“Frogs eat worms.”

Then the Frogs eat the frogs?

How far can that go?

Sound like moslem worms.

Just what I thought. The French will eat them.
