Comments for Earthworm Types

Tom, 27 February 2021

FOUND a worm in Madison, Alabama. After 2 days of sustained rain. 10-11" long, light brown, black or very dark brown head. LESS than 1/32" in diameter! (My 1" paperclip wire is 1/32 and this worm is only about 2/3 that! It leads with its black "head" just like a snake. What the heck is this thing? I do have pics and a video.

Thank you, this is excellent information - I've been searching for some clarification on the differences and this is really great. I'm especially interested as to whether compost worms can be found naturally in the soil in gardens, or is the only way they make their way there being if you introduce them?

Thanks , this clears my doubt. I tried many attempts to rear e-worms collected from our garden here in Malaysia and also in the US . All the failures leak me to scout for more info. Now I am not sure where to purchase the composting ones since I am in Malaysia Now. Hope another Malaysian nearby can assist.

THIS WAS VERRY HELPFUL WITH MY SCIENCE PROGECT. IT HAD EVERYTHING I WAS LOOKING 4. THE ONLY TWO THINGS WERE THAT THEY COULD HAVE PUT SOME MORE INFORMATION . THE INFO. WAS LIMITED. IF YOU GO ANEYWARE ELSE THER IS SOMPTHING NOT WHAT UR LOOKING 4 IT WILL ALWASE B SOMETHING OR THE OTHER. THE OTHER THING WAS THAT IN THE EARTHWORKING PARAGRAPH THEY SAID 'LEAVING THEIR POO ' WHY COULDNT THEY SAY ' LEAVING THEIR MANUER' LIKE IN THE COMPOST WORM PARAGRAPH THEY SAID ' THEY CAN B FOUND IN MANUER HEAPS. BUT OTHER THAN THAT THIS WAS AWSOME.
