Worms are hermaphrodites. Each worm has both male and female organs.
There are approximately 2,700 different kinds of earthworms.
In one acre of land, there can be more than a million earthworms.
The largest earthworm ever found was in South Africa and measured 22 feet from its nose to the tip of its tail.
Charles Darwin spent 39 years studying earthworms more than 100 years ago.
Baby worms are not born. They hatch from cocoons smaller than a grain of rice.
Worms mate by joining their clitella (swollen area near the head of a mature worm) and exchanging sperm. Then each worm forms an egg capsule in its clitellum.
Worms can eat their weight each day.
