A earthworm is a non-arthropod invertebrate that looks like a kind of like a soft, squishy, gooey snake. They live in the ground and eat dirt. Birds like to eat them. Guys like to use them as fishing bait. You thought a lot about worms when you were a kid. You would sometimes play with them or poke them with a stick. But you don’t think about them anymore these days. You forget all about them until you see one wriggling on the sidewalk during the rain or until you read about them in a stupid blog post. But they are always there, munching on dirt and digging holes a couple of inches below your feet. Earthworms are limbless, earless, eyeless, and noseless, but they have surprisingly sharp teeth (sharp enough to puncture human skin). They don’t bite as hard as snails, but they bite about as hard or harder than most slugs. That’s why I never walk outside barefoot.
