Do worms eat egg shells?
Yes they do, and grow in a cocoon. Although worms are hermaphrodite (having both sets of sex organs in the clitellum) they cannot impregnate themselves. Two worms line up head to tail and pass sperm to each others spermathecae, sperm sacs. A slime tube forms over the clitellum (saddle), dries out and fills with fluid. As the worm wriggles out of the shrinking tube 5-6 eggs and sperm are deposited in it. The tube closes to form a cocoon from which tiny fully functioning worms emerge some time later. Worm cocoons can lie dormant for a year if the soil conditions are not right to support the baby worms. All worms that are cut in half make 2 dead halves of a worm. It is a myth that both halves survive. They might take a while to die but die they do.
The clitellum functions as part of the system in earthworms.?
