Giant Blue Earthworms





Today I was going to do a little post about a rare American earthworm that's three feet long, smells like lillies, and spits at anyone who comes too close. But then I found the picture above. Apparently, they have blue earthworms in some parts of Australia. Who knew?

Cool! In the summer before we go on vacation to this cottage we rent (it's on a lake) we go "worming". If it rains, all the better. We do it in the dark and use flashlight to see the worms, then we grab them. I'm the "master wormer" LOL. We get the worms so we can fish BTW, it kinda sounded like we were just collecting worms for fun (which would be cool, but pointless.) I personally don't think it's gross, but one thing that IS gross is that we usually keep the worms in the refrigerator! (Talk to my dad about that....) =) Now you know all about worming! LOL! I wish we'd see blue worms though. I bet the fish would love that!

I'd much rather have blue earthworms than the hideous pink ones we get here.

Kurosignal said...

Pink ones are not hideous. Our opinion in this situation would be to like what is weirdest, which, in the current situation is a different color, thus, causing us to support the weird color in our own ways.

How big is the one in the picture?
