While straightening some rocks around the garden pond I came across two Land planarians or Terrestrial flatworms. They are often found in damp areas such as under rocks or logs.
They are carnivorous and come out at night to feed on a range of small invertebrates including slugs. There are many Flatworm species and this one seems to be Fletchamia sugdeni , also known as Sugden's flatworm or Canary Flatworm. These are the worms you may have heard stories about that can be cut in two and live on as two individual worms. Amazingly, they can even do this voluntarily.
