NZ Flatworms arrived on Arran about 4 years ago.

They've never damaged me when I've handled them though I agree about the
amount of slime. NZ flatworms were first found on Islay in the late
1980s and are presumably still here, though fortunately not in my
garden.

Are they causing as much devastation as was expected? The furore seems
to have died down somewhat. They co-exist with earthworms in NZ.
