Woodlice are negatively phototaxis as they move away from light.
Dugesia, a genus of planarian flatworms, typically lives in freshwater environments such as ponds, lakes, and streams. They are carnivorous, feeding on small organisms like insects and worms. Dugesia are known for their ability to regenerate lost body parts, making them resilient creatures in their ecosystem.
Perhaps the best-known of the non-parasitic flatworms ka planaria are the brown-colored Dugesia tigrina, and the black-colored Dugesia dorotocephala and Planaria maculata.
Dugesia has eyespots on its head that detect light and shadows. It most likely moves in the direction of shadows in order to find food.
