Lumbricid Earthworms

lumbricidae

Lumbricid earthworms are squiggly creatures that help soil stay healthy! They wiggle through the ground and eat dead leaves, turning them into rich nutrients for plants.

Lebensraum: Lumbricid earthworms live in moist soil, often found in gardens, forests, and fields.

Aussehen

The Lumbricid Earthworm has a long, segmented, cylindrical body, typically reddish-brown or pinkish, with a slightly darker, saddle-like band called the clitellum near its head end. It lacks limbs or eyes, moving by contracting its powerful ring muscles.
