Eisenia fetida, commonly known as the red wiggler worm, and Lumbricus rubellus, or the red earthworm, are different species and belong to different genera. While they may be able to copulate due to their similar reproductive structures, they cannot produce viable offspring together because they are genetically distinct. Successful reproduction typically requires mating between individuals of the same species. Therefore, while they may interact, cross-species reproduction does not occur.
