DD1 and I swapped some specimens a the PB III conference. Now I'm wondering what I brought home with me.
This white-topped plastic container was on the moderator's table and was full of worms.
When the worms are exposed to light, they act like they've either had way too much caffeine, or they are on an electrical grid. They really jump around. Other than that, they just look like plain old earthworms -- except highly animated and agitated.
Dave calls them Texas Jumping Worms. Neither of us can find any reliable reference to them on the Internet. Does anybody know what their scientific name, or even their common name might be?
I'm hoping to propagate them. If nothing else, they sure are fun to watch.
Thanks,
Ken
