A family of land-dwelling flatworms characterized by a distinctive head shape and predatory behavior, found in warm regions worldwide.
From the genus 'Bipalium' + '-idae' (taxonomic family suffix). This family name follows Linnaean nomenclature, created to classify a specific group of terrestrial planarians.
Bipaliidae flatworms are invasive predators in many ecosystems—they can wrap themselves around earthworms and digest them externally in the soil, and they reproduce asexually so one worm can colonize an entire area.
