Blackworms, or Lumbriculus variegatus, are related to annelids, which are segmented worms. They belong to the class Clitellata, which includes earthworms and leeches. These aquatic worms are commonly found in freshwater habitats and are known for their ability to regenerate lost segments of their bodies. Blackworms play a role in the ecosystem by contributing to sediment turnover and serving as a food source for various aquatic animals.

Do blackworms eat plants?

Blackworms, or Lumbriculus variegatus, primarily feed on organic detritus and microorganisms in their aquatic environments rather than directly consuming plants.

While they may be found in areas with plant matter, they do not actively eat living plants.
