A Wandering Broadhead Planarian feeding on earthworm. Collected in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. (9/25/2009). Notes: 'This terrestrial planarian is a predator of earthworms. In the photo the light colored tissue covering a portion of the earthworm's body is the planarian's everted pharynx (arrow). The pharynx is located not at or near the head of the planarian, but at about the middle of its body. This photo is from our short paper on the feeding of these planarians.'
