Hi /an/.

My google-fu has failed. I can not figure out what this thing from my backyard is.

I live in Austin, Texas. This thing may look like a leech but is not segmented and has no interest in drinking my blood. I seems more like a small mobile oil slick. Any ideas? This is the best quality close-up image I could get. Ill post a second image with an object for scale.

Umm just looks like a good ol fashioned slug to me. Have you tried copulating with it yet?

Planaria or Annelid, definitely, but Planaria are freswater species. The segmentation of some leeches is hard to spot.

I too live in Texas that is an amphiuma. Google it you will get some hits. Those things have a wicked ass bite if you get them ticked.

amphiumas have vestigial arms/legs, that looks to be a planarian

Its a black fishing widow. Or a slug. But are you willing to take the chance that it is a black fishing widow? You must acquire the rare Salted Gorilla and use it to defeat your fishing widow infestation.

The only logical answer in this thread. I suggest the OP cover his ears.

That is a terrestrial flatworm, a planarian :)

We have them here in florida, too, as well as an orange-striped, hammerheaded species that gruesomely kills and eats earthworms. No idea what the plain black ones eat..I have never even found a scientific name for them.

Huh, I would be surprised if it's a planarian (Platyhelminthes). Platyhelminths have only one opening, so it's difficult for them to be very long.
From the smoothness of the skin and the hook at the end of the tail, I would guess it's some kind of nematode.
