Found a few of these in the garden where it is clay soil and very damp. Not finding it in the normal worm identification so guessing it is an import or not a worm but an insect larvae? Looks more like a leach.

Its brown read then. But not looking like the New Zealand version?

edit. Its just become a bug hunt..........

Edit 2. Seems to have two heads or ends that do stuff. One has latched on to the container and tother is questing around for human brains or something.

Yeah, next door rear is all patio with a shed that has no water catch, just runs off. Boulder clay in this area so it does not drain. Add all that together and it is very damp in that corner.

Leeches eh? Reprieve then? Will be putting a planter over that patch so I can grow something apart from sea weed.

Edit. Saw your post after I posted. OK. Dead to death. No point in trying to drown them. Just found another three.

They are still alive and wondering how many I missed, that particular part of damp does not spread itself around past that corner. I was going to name them after famous bankers and keep them....
