A cat can die from certain types of worms. Like the heartworm, a cat can die from. But worms around its rear end aren't fatal. It's best if you contact a vet and get it treated so its not going to spread to other cats.
That depends on the worm. If you mean a caterpillar, then yes, that is considered a bug in larval form. If you mean an earthworm, then no, that is not considered a bug.

Worms feed on organic matter in the soil. How deep they go depends on soil conditions such as: how deep they can find a reasonable amount of food, how deep is the water table (no snorkels on worms), how far down can they go without running into hard packed clay or bed rock. As long as they have the basic conditions of life they can survive.
How long does it take for a puppy to rid of worms?
All dogs and puppies should be dewormed. It you actually see the worms in the stools of the dog, you need to deworm it immediately. Take a stool sample to your Veterinarian and get it checked out to see what other internal parasites your pup may have. If the worm looked like spaghetti, then it is roundworms or if it looked like little grains of rice, then it is tapeworms but there are many other kinds too. You can deworm your pup yourself too. Go to a pet store or feedstore and get a dewormer that gets all the worms such as tapes, roundworms, hookworms, etc. Be sure to repeat the deworming in 10-14 days after the first deworming to catch any baby worms that were not caught the first time. It would be best to take your pup in to be checked out by your Veterinarian.

How do worms protect their bodies?
How Do Earthworms Protect Themselves? By Dianne Ross L. Laynes

Although earthworms are found all over the world and range in size from the 1-inch type you might see in your yard to the 11-foot Gippsland giant of Australia, they have one thing in common: They are almost completely defenseless. Their enemies are many, from fishermen who use them as live bait to hungry birds to something as simple as a rainstorm. Because it has no defenses like teeth or claws, and because it moves slowly, the earthworm is a fairly easy target.
What earthworms can do is burrow. They have small bristles, known as setae, which are both sensing devices that can identify any soil vibrations and digging aids. The setae stick to dirt and the worm then contracts its body to force itself through soil. The worm also secretes a mucus that helps it slide through dirt more quickly. In fact, to escape the cold of winter or an eager predator, the earthworm can burrow dozens of feet below the surface. Earthworms also are aware of when it's safest to come out of hiding: at night. The only other time you're likely to see earthworms is after a rain. This is not necessarily because of what you may have heard, that the worm is trying to avoid drowning. In fact, an earthworm gets its oxygen through its skin, and can survive several weeks if it is submerged. The more likely reason is that the rain keeps the worm from becoming too dry, as it normally would in sunshine, and allows it a chance to find a mate. The earthworm might also be coming to the surface to move more quickly to colonize new ground or to forage for food during weather when predators are less likely to be out.
If attacked by a predator, a worm can twist about wildly in an effort to free itself, and it might be able to produce an odor that will turn off its attacker. These are last-minute defenses that probably won't work. But there is one other facet of the earthworm that is arguably a protective device: its ability to regenerate. Although not all earthworms have this ability, most can grow back parts of themselves that have been severed. While it is not true that an earthworm cut in half will form two new worms, because most important internal organs are in only one half, the part with those organs can usually regenerate the missing piece.

What does an inchworm like to eat?
Inchworms eat air
Dalica: Inch Worms don't JUST eat air. They can eat many variates of bark. And also i don't know how an inchworm could get water from underground because I've never heard of them digging, but a GREAT way to get one to drink is by placing individual cups of water on the ground. An inchworm will approach it and drink it, and you will be able to watch as the drop slowly disappears! I have an inchworm myself, and I have been studying it. And I think mold will affect it either.
Hope this helps!
Does a worm have an inside skeleton?
Every species has its own particular specialty or adaptation. There are all sorts of organs and systems that worms do not have; they have no skeletons, no wings, no eyes, no claws, no feathers, and so forth. They are simple organisms that are well adapted to their particular ecological niche. They don't need skeletons.
I think worms live in dirt because they catch their food in the soil. So that is why worms live in dirt.
