How big can a earth worm get?

Answer 1

it depends what type of earthworm it is. The typical North American or European worm is 20cm. However the giant Gippsland earthworm, Megascolides australis, of Australia averages 100 cm long and 2 cm in diameter and can reach 3 m in length.

Answer 2

Size depends on the species of worm, it's age, diet and environmental conditions like moisture, temperature and soil conditions. Nightcrawler, Dew worm is one of North America's largest and ranges in size from 9-30 cm with a diameter of 6-10 mm. The largest L. terrestris collected was close to 30 cm long (stretched out), weighed 11.2 g and was collected in a no-till, soybean field in Ontario up near Georgian Bay, Ontario.

The largest tropical species (Glossoscolex and Megascolides) are up to 120 cm long and the largest in the world are some Australian forms which may reach 300 cm in length. Bimastos parvus (American bark worm) is quite small at less than 2 cm long
