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!

Earthworm being a relatable mess for almost 3 minutes

Just a silly little video I made highlighting the comedy gold of David Thewlis as the earthworm from James and the Giant Peach (1995). Enjoy :)
