Smallest earthworm that I have ever seen!

turtlefoot · Sep 27, 2010

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to post a unique pic. My three year old was out playing in the dirt this afternoon and said "Look Daddy, I found a creature". I jumped up quickly to see what she had, fearing a spider. It was this worm. when she handed it to me she accidentally pinched off about 1/32 of an inch off of the tail (if that much). Has anyone else seen one this small?

believe it or not, years ago while digging for worms to go fishing in grandpas pond, i dug a worm that was actually giving birth to little one, not sure if it was any smaller or not, but still kind of weird,

Okay that's WILD! I have seen a lot of animals giving birts or hatching but NEVER an earthworm!
