SPH-3421 - The Notorious New Zealand Flatworm Takes Over the UK!

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Steve Hopkin, we catch a glimpse of the infamous SPH-3421, a mischievous invader from Down Under. Introduced to the United Kingdom in the swinging 60s, these cunning creatures have made themselves right at home. Measuring up to a whopping 20 cm in length, these flatworms are no shrinking violets! They've managed to establish their reign over Scotland, northern England, and Northern Ireland. Move aside Nessie – there's a new predator in town! But what makes them such formidable foes? Well, it turns out that earthworms are their main course on the menu. These wriggly wonders better watch out because SPH-3421 has an insatiable appetite for them! Talk about being top of the food chain. While some may see them as villains threatening our beloved earthworm population, you can't help but admire their tenacity and adaptability. After all, they've traveled thousands of miles to make themselves comfortable across Europe. So next time you're strolling through Scottish highlands or exploring English countryside gardens, keep an eye out for these sneaky invaders. Just remember not to mention commercial use – we wouldn't want any copyright controversies with Steve Hopkin's incredible wildlife photography skills!
