Earthworms are fascinating. I had no idea they were an invasive species in the USA. New Zealand has non-native earthworms, although I haven't heard whether they are invasive. We also have some amazing native earthworms including one with bioluminescent mucous.
Good question. I don't know but it turns out it's not uncommon, just not observed very often. I'm tempted to go down a rabbit hole on the subject, but I'd better get on with my work instead...

That sounds interesting! I wonder what the purpose of that would be...

I had no idea they are invasive. I’ll keep an eye out for shovel heads.
I'm seeing more and more about the crazy jumping worms being invasive - since you're a big gardener, do you see many of those where you are?
Loved this :)
