If you go down to the woods today, you might see a GIANT EARTHWORM! 🪱
In New Zealand it’s time for the second round of the global soil biodiversity monitoring project ‘SoilBON’, and some incredible native earthworms turned up during fieldwork yesterday!

I didn't want this earthworm to be stepped on. Moved to safer space 💚

My slightly late offering for day ten of #invertober (common earthworm) 🪱
Did you know earthworms have a special lip-like first head segment called a prostomium (meaning 'before the mouth')? They use it to sense and manipulate food, and move through soil!

Point of views - some are seeing those, some are not 😊

Did someone bury a tiny lemon?
Nope, this is an earthworm cocoon!
After mating, both earthworms will produce a cocoon like this (they're hermaphrodites), containing a fertilised egg. Inside, a baby earthworm will grow, before hatching out the end like a tiny pink noodle. Inside the cocoons, wormlings are protected from drought, flooding and low oxygen conditions, and will hatch when conditions are good again!

Who needs 2 mess around with sleep'n groundhogs in early February to predict when #spring arrives.
The official animal of spring is da #earthworm !

I feel like there's a #joke here, as #TheGuardian closes out its second annual showcase of species shortlisted for #InvertebrateOfTheYear: Is it the Gippsland #Earthworm, or the #Flamboyant #Cuttlefish? The #Tongue-biting #Louse? Does it crawl the banks of the #Potomac? Who knows? #winner #staytuned
