The Common Earthworm
Some people may find this kind of subject disgusting but it isn't really a thing you can escape... anyway why be afraid they are HARMLESS.
The reddish-grey-coloured common earthworm, often called a night crawler in the United States, is familiar to anyone with a fishing rod or a garden. They are indigenous to Europe, but are now abundant in North America and western Asia.
Earthworms are a source of food for numerous animals, like birds, rats, and toads, and are frequently used in residential composting and as bait in commercial and recreational fishing. Their numbers are strong throughout their range, and sometimes pests in some areas.
Earthworms’ bodies are made up of ring-like segments called annuli. These segments are covered in setae, or small bristles, which the worm uses to move and burrow.
Worms are invertebrate, herbivores and can live for 6 years.
Size relative to cup:
Worms are said to be blind, or their eyes are just very sensitive to light, so only come out at night, they are also like snails and slugs as they only come out in damp areas or they can dry up ... oh no.
