I remember one night, very late, long after some rain had fallen, a lone worm was on the dry sidewalk. Wanting to lead it back to soil, I ran in, grabbed a cup of water, and poured it gently along the concrete in a path leading back to the grass. It made it home. For those few minutes, I got to enjoy friendship with a worm.

It's okay to touch them, they're always your friend they won't hurt you.

Oh, no, it was just an earthworm, I know. I have no coordination and was afraid of pinching it to death when it kept ignoring my hand.

Not just girls. Boys (and now grown men) do this as well. Just sayin'

Earthworms are a destructive, invasive species in North America. If you live in North America, you should probably just let then die.Source

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That particular species, yes. Earthworms are a cornerstone and a requirement for nutrient transfer in soil.

From your source: Of the 182 taxa of earthworms found in the United States and Canada, 60 (33%) are introduced species.
