Planarians are voracious predators on earthworms, and two species, B. kewense and Dolichoplana striata Moseley, have been reported as nuisances in the southern U.S. in earthworm rearing beds. (Hyman 1954; Dunn, personal observation 1997) Two additional flatworm species, Artioposthia triangulata and Geoplana sanguinea, were accidentally imported to Ireland and England. They were reported as being capable of eradicating entire earthworm populations on farms. In greenhouses, although some collectors believe they might damage plants, they are considered harmless.
