Zephyr Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Although I have no pics at the moment, I would like an ID on the worms I found today. They range from about an inch to 4 when stretched out and were discovered under an inch or two of somewhat dry hardwood leaves. When trying to escape, they wiggled ferociously back and forth with little forward movement, and when grabbed they seem to have a looping spasm and sometimes shed the tip of their tail at the slightest touch. After this they seem to cease movement for a moment or two. There are no apparent genitalia and no apparent band either; Their mouths are clearly visible when extended. They were collected in Michigan's lower peninsula, if this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darla Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Looks like an earthworm to me. If you were wanting a scientific name I have no idea, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Well, I got the ID from the UK worm center. They're Amenthys aggrestis, or asian giant worms. Good garter food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
