I’m getting ready to turn 63, remember seeing these in South Carolina when I was a kid.

That’s what I meant by carp lol. Everything that’s a problem. Nowadays animal wise is from Asia. I guess Covid was so maybe we can add that to the list.

I used to see these every once in awhile and didn't know they were invasive. Had I known, they would've been torched.

yeah first time i saw them i was like what in theee... they were all over my yard. Would go out at night could see the slime trail then a dead earthworm or they were wrapped around the worm killing it..never seen them before i moved to the house im in now but also some of the bigggggest wild worms ive ever seen, make the canadian earthworms you get at the bait shop look small..

I killed a ton of them, havent seen them lately

Although not as large a problem as we have there are several "invasives" causing problems in other countries that are from the U.S. .....I remember reading several years ago about Asia having a Bullfrog problem as well as racoons, minks, and squirrels. Let us not forget our favorite "invasive" species - The Largemouth Bass. Wondering how many countries their in now?
