The Giant Worm.

Posted on November 6th, 2009 by aGardenInTheCity
That's not a snake.

That's not a snake.

A few posts ago I mentioned that there were a lot of varieties of worms, from glow in the dark to giants.  Okay, here’s proof.  This is an earthworm in Ecuador.  At first glance it looks like a snake, but upon closer inspection it’s obviously a worm.

This photo of a hammerhead worm was taken by Editor.  Smaller, but still unusual. Do you have a worm story or photo?  Send it in.

    Is that “hammerhead worm” found in the US? It looks like a land planarium and is considered bad because it kills earthworms, which are good. In Pennsylvania you’re supposed to report them to the Cooperative Extension.
