Flatworm that eats earthworms

In June 2003, one of my neighbors found this mysterious creature crawling across the driveway.  We did not know what it was; we had never seen anything like it before.  After an internet search, we found out that it's a flatworm that eats earthworms.  They are found all over the world and are a problem in some regions.  It leaves a slimy trail.  It is a type of planarian.  The toothpick and penny are for scale.
