Could anyone verify if this is a jumping worm, I was clearing some weeds away from my washie and found it right on top which makes me worried about jumping worm being in my yard 😭

Kind of looks like it. Ā  Does it do crazy thrashing and flopping around compared to your average nightcrawler? Ā I have them in my yard and garden beds. Ā I’m sure they are bad for the environment in various ways, but you can’t really get rid of them, and I’ve never noticed any ill effects on the yard other than the rate they turn over mulch, and the digging lizards and birds they attract. Ā They actually green up the grass in areas they are active, but they are detrimental to native forrest floors. Ā

It will do some thrashing when I try to get it and it’s pretty quick to slither away. I worry about the forest next to my house, if it is jumping worm, looks like I need to attract more birds and lizards to my yard for population control if it is.

It does lack the reddish color of nightcrawler and I’m not sure if this is the worms doing but weeds and grass grow so much faster around my washies.
