Turbellarian Flatworm Movement

Turbellaria includes the nonparasitic flatworms from the phylum Platyhelminthes. These worms come in a wide variety of colors and sizes, many of whom are very colorful. This particular flatworm is a little more bland looking at first but when looking closer it has two little eyespots that make it look like a little cross-eyed worm.

Flatworms have a an interesting physiology that lacks a body cavity. There is not a lot to them but despite their simplicity they have a remarkable regenerative capability.
