50 mm?
Do you have a photo showing the anal segments in profile?
Taken into protective custody?

Don, Yep sorry, meant mm. I'm hopeless with cm, mm. It was about 2-2 and a half inches. I was going to take it into protective custody but didn't have a bottle - being just in the park behind my house - so I left it where it was while I examined the rest of the bush. When I came back just five minutes later it had gone. I searched everywhere but found the much smaller one, which I did bring home (reluctantly as it is so young). I've gone back every day since but still can't find it. Photo 4 shows the anal segment in profile, just cut off on the thumbnail view. Need to open it to see the full photo.
