here are some of my favorite worm facts
Aristotle called earthworms “the intestines of the soil”
Most members of the earthworm family (Lumbricidae) are thought to have disappeared from Canada during the last ice age. Native earthworms survived only in areas that were unglaciated, such as the west coast of British Columbia, parts of the Yukon, and the most southern parts of Eastern and Atlantic Canada. Many of the earthworms we find in Canada today were introduced by European settlers, who valued the ecosystem services provided by earthworms, particularly their role in producing good crops.
I used to have some pet chickens and of course they’d eat worms but they’d also eat snakes as if they were spaghetti noodles. Bigger snakes than I would have guessed, had I guessed that they’d eat snakes at all.
Also, remember this kitten named “worm” from that old Kitten War Web site?
Looks like the site is still around, and you can see this kitten’s stats since 2005.
