Found under a garbage bin which had been full of water. Not actually sure what group these belong in, with worms etc ??? Also not sure if these three different coloured individuals are all the same species.

A flatworm. This one matches genus Caenoplana as identified on Bowerbird - http://www.bowerbird.org.au

There are two species here, the darker one is Caenoplana coerulea, and the larger one with the more yellowish stripes is Caenoplana bicolor. Since this one is in the first two photos I'm going to place this sighting under Caenoplana bicolor.
The second photo shows Caenoplana coerulea and Anzoplana trilineata, and the third photos shows another flatworm that could be another species. Quite a collection of flatworms! Each photo could be put in as a separate sighting.

Thanks so much. I actually already have five sightings for the life under that bin! But looks like I need two more. When I get the chance I will go back through my photos, and put in two more sightings.
( I often check, but have not found those flatworms there again).
