This species is native to Singapore where it was found and is NOT the invasive hammerhead flatworm found in part of the US. Comments about killing it will get you blocked.

And now back to the Bornean primary forests with a bunch of land planarian images belonging to the Diversibipalium genus. These ones were found in Mulu National Park a few days ago, after big rains. They were all around, night and day, in a colorful stream of slimy life. #worm #diversibipalium #geoplanidae #mulunationalpark #sarawak #borneo #macro #color #picoftheday #macrophotography #nikonz9 @ilcp_photographers https://www.instagram.com/p/ChW68IHqPPH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Diversibipalium rauchi

...is a species of terrestrial planarian that occurs in southeast Asia. Like other terrestrial flatworms this species is a voracious predator and feeds almost exclusively on earthworms, although they are known to take other prey. Once it catches its prey it will feed by extending its pharynx into its body and sucking out its inside.
