THE NEW ZEALAND FLATWORM (Arthurdendyus Triangulatus)
The New Zealand Flatworm
The New Zealand Flatworm, or Arthurdendyus Triangulatus, is a large land flatworm found in New Zealand. This species of flatworm is called an invasive species because it is very easily transported to different locations by flower pots and things to that nature. This flatworm preys specially on earthworms which is bad because earthworms are valuable to the nutrition of the soil. This flatworm has a nervous system that virtually does not differ from the common nervous system of a flatworm. All the basics are the same: simple eyes, mechanoreceptors, photoreceptors, and chemoreceptors.
