Flatworms, also known as platyhelminthes, are fascinating creatures that come in various shapes and sizes. One notable species is the Liver Fluke, which can be observed under a microscope slide preparation of the whole animal. These tiny organisms have a complex life cycle and are known to infect livestock and humans. Another intriguing member of this group is the New Zealand Flatworm, which was introduced to the UK from New Zealand in the early 1960s. Growing up to an impressive length of 20 cm, these they have become common in Scotland and northern England. They have made themselves at home by preying on earthworms, as depicted in Picture No. 11674993. The mating behavior of New Zealand Flatworms is equally captivating. The illustration shows a pair engaged in this reproductive act after their introduction to the UK decades ago. With their elongated bodies and distinct features, they continue to thrive despite being far from their native land. Not all flatworm species are invasive; some inhabit exotic locations like Lembeh Straits in Sulawesi, Sunda Islands, Indonesia. Acoel Flatworm adults (Waminoa sp. ) can be seen forming groups on coral reefs there (Picture No. 10900396). Similarly, Laing Island Flatworm (Pseudoceros laingensis) adults grace Batu Lima in Dampier Straits within Raja Ampat Islands (Four Kings). Schistosome fluke worms are another type worth mentioning due to their unique appearance captured through artwork C013 / 4642. These parasites cause schistosomiasis disease when they infest humans or animals living near freshwater sources. Lastly, let's not forget about Giant Land Planarians found amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Andes in Peru. These adult Turbellaria sp. , with their vibrant colors and distinctive patterns make for an awe-inspiring sight.
