EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Steve Hopkin, we are introduced to SPH-3386, a fascinating creature that is bound to make your skin crawl with curiosity. At just 3 cm in length, this terrestrial species from the Phylum Platyhelminthes proves that size doesn't matter when it comes to being a fearsome predator. Native to the United Kingdom (and also spotted across Europe, USA, and even Bermuda), this cunning flatworm has earned its reputation as a carnivorous mastermind. Its diet consists of woodlice and other unsuspecting soil animals who dare cross its path in the garden of Cornwall, England. With its snake-like head and single-minded determination, SPH-3386 strikes fear into the hearts of its prey. But don't worry; you won't find it slithering around your living room! This incredible snapshot serves as a reminder of nature's diversity and showcases one of Britain's hidden wonders. So next time you're out exploring wildlife or simply admiring Steve Hopkin's remarkable photography skills, keep an eye out for these sneaky worm warriors. Just remember not to underestimate their power – they may be small in size but are mighty hunters indeed!
