Dear Mike,

Thanks for this record. I've added a close-up alongside to draw attention to the green patches on the parapodia. They are not pigment spots but 'gardens' of chloroplasts obtained from the green algae this animal feeds on. Have a look on the solar-powered slugs for back ground information.

Have a look at the flatworm Fact Sheet for a link to a good page.

Best wishes,

Bill Rudman
