An invasive species known as the Asian hammerhead flatworm has been discovered in Sweden, specifically in Karlstad, where it was found among imported plants. The flatworm, which can grow up to 40 centimeters in length, poses a potential threat to local ecosystems by preying on earthworms, which play a crucial role in soil health. Researchers warn that these flatworms lack natural predators and could spread through both imported vegetation and domestic pets, as observed in France. While they may struggle to establish permanently due to cold Swedish winters, early detection and reporting are encouraged to limit their spread. The Swedish Museum of Natural History advises against releasing the worms into the wild and recommends documenting sightings through photographic evidence and reporting them to Artportalen.
