Caenoplana bicolor

Field Notes
Description:
Usually 30mm long but incredibly stretchy. <br>
Grey and maroon, lightly speckled, with a three-part dorsal track of cream. <br>
The underside is paler but all colours can vary with the angle of light.
Habitat:
Found under a large wet log in an outer urban back yard along with another geoplanid species and many other small creatures.
Notes:
A new species to me and slightly less common than some others in these hills. <br> They prey on woodlice, small snails and slugs, other small arthropods everting their stomaches to ingest externally. <br> https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:1…
