Found in a drainage channel at mulligans flat, made swampy by the recent rain. Good to see a flat worm here after all the recent drought, :).

An interesting specimen with a reddish brown dorsal ground colour. The ground colour in the species can vary from pale yellow or nearly orange, dull olive green, ocherous-brown, reddish brown and almost brick red. The other interesting point is that this species survives relatively dry habitats, hence surviving the dry conditions. It must be very happy with the recent rain!
