New Guinea Flatworm invasive pest in Thailand

[electric]

Serious story about New Guinea Flatworm. Not native to Thailand.

 

It's a slug type animal that's on the 100 top invasive species in the world. Eats snails and earthworms to extinction.

 

Finally found it's way into Thailand, which is very bad news for native soil biodiversity.

 

No known predator, so it's a really big pest in many countries, including USA.

 

If seen in your garden, eradicate the flatworm by dousing with scalding hot water, or liberal covering of normal table salt.
