Waiting for the worms to come.
(Waters)
This is a picture I took from the giant Gippsland earthworm, Megascolides australis, in a jar
on aqua fortis at the Wildlife Wonderland at Bass as described by Bill Bryson in his book "Downunder"
The Giant earthworms average at 100 cm long and 2 cm in diameter and can reach 3 m in length.
They have a dark purple head and a blue-grey body.
The earthworms are now a threatened and protected species.
