Wriggly Worms

Wonderful Wiggly Worms

Some New Zealand worms glow in the dark, but here in our Frankley School bush we only have the common variety. New Zealand has more than 200 species of earthworms.

Appearance

Worms are invertebrates meaning they have no backbone, they feel slippery when you hold them in your hands. They are soft smooth and wiggly and must stay moist or they will dry out and die.

Habitat

Some Worms live in soil and some live in compost. They like it to be moist and dark and not over crowded.

Diet

Worms like to eat apples and stuff from the compost. They like to eat leaves and dirt.

Did you know that worms do not have eyes?  But they do have other really good senses, such as hearing and touch.
