Red worms and earthworms are the same thing. They are closely related to each other, though. Red worms make much better worm farm worms or composting worms than regular earth worms because of their higher rate of soil assimilation.

How do earthworms breed?

After two earthworms have mated, the clitellum secretes the cocoon which forms a ring around the worm. The worm then backs out of the ring, and as it does so, injects its own eggs and the other worm's sperm into it. As the worm slips out, the ends of the cocoon seal to form a vaguely lemon-shaped incubator or cocoon in which the embryonic worms developRead more: Do_earthworm_reproduce_by_laying_eggs


How do you keep a earthworm?

We are having this problem too. I just asked a pool repairman about it. He said the worms are getting into our drainage system around our deck. They do this through small fissures that can open up in the pipes over the years. Then they come into the pool through the overflow drain. We've never dealt with this before, and we've had the pool 10 years. Maybe it's because we've had such a wet summer here in Dallas. (By the way, he said his other customers with earthworms have tried to flush out their drainage pipes as well as possible and some have put something to poison the worms there. Not sure I want poison around my pool though --)

Why is earthworm blood red?

Earthworms have blood and it is enclosed in a network of tubes much like the blood system of mammals. It is red because it contains the oxygen carrying pigment hemoglobin. Unlike mammals, where the hemoglobin is inside red blood cells, earthworm hemoglobin is just mixed in the liquid of the blood, commonly called hemolymph. Earthworms pump their blood around the body with the help of 5 specialized blood vessels that contract and expand. They are the worm's hearts.

Do worms have cells?

Yes, worms do have cells. Worms are living creatures, and one of the 6 characteristics of life is that something has to have one or more cells. Worms are also animals and invertebrates (they have no central spinal cord). Worms belong to the annelid family, along with leeches. There are approximately 12,000 known species in the annelid family. The annelid family is grouped into three groups: oligochaetes (earthworms and freshwater worms), hirudineans (leeches), and polychaetes (marine worms). The three most common kinds of worms are as follows: * The Common Earthworm- this worm, also called a nightcrawler, is the one you are most likely to find in our garden. They are found in most of the world, when most people think of a worm, this is what comes to mind. * Brandling worms- these worms are smaller than Earthworms and are generally a dark pink to red in colour. They are most often found composting decaying matter, and surprisingly are rarely found in soils and instead live in conditions where many other worms are not. * Flatworms- these worms are parasitic and also eat earthworms. These worms are also the simplest of worms and are not even segmented. Worms are actually extremely important in our ecosystem. Worms add nutrients to the soil and are an important part of many food chains. Also, many worms have been introduced to other ecosystems, causing chaos and much destruction. For instance, Minnesota actually has no native earthworms, and instead has very small, almost microscopic worms living in their soils. These new worms were introduced from common fishing bait and have destroyed many native plant life, also pushing out the native worms.
