Critters NOT drawn to scale (though I wish tardigrades were mole-sized so I could hold them in my hands like a hamster)

Hey there! Hate to intrude, but there’s been something odd happening to the earthworms in my neighborhood. (Pictured below) For the past few days they’ve been turning up very sluggish on the sidewalk. They’re all covered in these white, red, or pink bumps. Not their clitellum (saddle), but just….bumps! I can’t find anything online and I’m so confused! Is this a disease? Birds pecking and dropping them on the sidewalk? You’re my last hope! If it helps, I live in North Carolina. Again sorry for the mystery and tysm in advance!!!!

I have no idea, I'm afraid! If you're on reddit, I'd try asking one of the bug or worm groups there. Reddit is absolutely action packed with experts on every subject.

Lumbricus castaneus may be one of my favorite local earthworm species for its small size, active nature, and strong iridescence, which varies in color from deep blue to yellowish green.

found on the surface under leaf litter or old wood, when you uncover one of these spirited little worms it’ll sprint off to safety, shining all the way.

hi, just found your blog<3

do you know why the (earth)worm’s shiny on the right end? is it iridescence or just weird lighting because I took the photo w flash on?

It's iridescence and it's normal on earthworms, but I'm not sure if the light refraction is caused by structures in their skin or in the mucus covering their body or some secret third thing.

You can also see it on this giant earthworm here!
