Land Planarians eat eart worms. Don't chop them up, they will multiply. best to squish them or spray them with orange oil & water mix.

Resting B. kewense found under landscape timber in Cary, NC. Simply drop into a trash bin to dispose. Unlike most animals they seek escape by descending, not rising, and dry out in the bottom.
