How does an earthworm move without any legs?
Earthworms are invertebrates, which means they do not have a backbone. In fact, they don't have any kind of bones, legs, eyes, or teeth. They feel wet, slimy, and squishy.While earthworms do not have legs, they do have muscles. They have muscles that circle their body and muscles that go from one end to the other.The circular muscles allow the worm to make its body wider or more narrow.The longitudinal muscles can shorten or lengthen the worm's body.Using their muscles, earthworms crawl by lengthening its front part and pushing forward through the soil.Notice how skinny the worm looks when its front end moves forward. Remember that the longitudinal muscles push the worm forward and the circular muscles squeeze the worm's body inward. Working together, these different muscles move part of the worm forward. When this is happening, tiny bristles called setaeon the underside of the worm hold the rear part of the worm in place.Once the front part has pushed forward, the front setae hold the worm in place and the rear setae turn loose. Now the worm is in position to pull its rear end forward.Notice how fat the rear end becomes as the worm's circular muscles relax and its longitudinal muscles contract. The rings of the earthworm expand and contract much like the coils of a slinky.

Why is an inch worm called that name?
That they move slowly is the reason for calling an inchworm an inchworm.Specifically, the caterpillars in question are the larval stages of moths in the Geomitridae family. They have three pairs of legs toward the front of the body, nothing in the middle, and two or three pairs of prolegs (abdominal appendages which facilitate movement) in the rear. They therefore move by pulling the rear end forward while holding on with the front legs and then progressing forward on the front legs while holding on with the prolegs.The overall effect is one of inching along a surface.
What are earthworm bristles called?
The setae are small spines which are projected from the body wall by muscles to act as anchors in the surface that the worm is moving along. The muscle can also retract the setae The circular muscles contract and expand in co-ordination with the longitudinal muscle in series such as that if the posterior muscle are expanded and the anterior circular muscles are contracted the worm pushes and stretches its front end forward. The anterior muscles then expand to anchor its front end by use of the setae and the rear end is pulled forward. All this happens in a smooth and rhythmic motion.
