Scientist, up here done some investigating, surveyed an area of farmland, on the West Coast (near me) Fields, where infested with them,....ate out our 'native earthworms' (their prey), big style !,.....so , not good for wildlife, or farming generally ? (farmers need our worms for soil health/ecology, drainage, etc). BUT, the most concerning thing was, there was always a local mole population, on this ground (before the 'flat worms' came),....well now , THEY ARE GONE !,......He spoke to all the farmers, concerned, , & they told him , there was always moles around, before these 'aliens' got hold !,...........Interestingly,other agricultural land (relatively nearby) , did still have moles ?,...BUT THERE WAS NO 'New zealand flatworms', recorded, in those fields !,.........this has got too tell you, something ?
