Is it possible the smaller worm is Amnythas?
It does not exhibit the "thrashing about" behavior, but it was brought to me in a jar and has been in there for a while.
ID confirmed via photo and video evidence sent to researcher.
Separating daffodils and found this huge worm! Is this one of those invasive jumping worms I've heard about?
Very active earthworm! I think this is the one I saw last night, it moved so fast seemed like it was scurrying!
Santa Ynez Canyon
Not sure that this is an actual earthworm as it was in a spillway waterway and not underground...it gradually moved under a rock when I started photographing it
Can anyone confirm this species? And if confirmed, how to I manage these invasive worms.
Found in the soil of a houseplant I received.
Young worm with smooth clitellum and slight ridge along body. Picked up with stick and it held itself up enough to form a figure 8, unlike how a nightcrawler would hang limp.
I apologize for the poor photos, I panicked seeing it and accidentally squished it.
