Hi Yeong.. Welcome..!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planarian
It was so eye-catching. It spotted by a group of children and they called me to take these pictures.
I have seen them around, but those are flesh or brown colored. This one is colorful n really pretty.
From the first picture, it looks like a hammer-head worm. A land planarian.
I have some other pictures (just uploaded), but unfortunately most of them are not clear.
I don't know. It looks like leech with a sucker but it movement like worm.
What is this? It kind of looks like a frog's leg.
