User's notes

The sequence of images shows a close encounter between a Flatworm and an Earthworm with the Flatworm appearing to try and overwhelm the Earthworm. The Earthworm eventually took off down into a crack between pavers, followed by the Flatworm. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting.

A nice series of photos. The earthworm dodged ... a flatworm, for the time being anyway!
