General Species Information: Found in the Adelaide Hills and possibly elsewhere Our id here is based on location and size of worm. There's a whole science based on identifying worms, much of which involves dissection. We noticed these in Lobethal in heavy rain periods. They came up onto the concrete verandah as when the soil gets too sodden they can drown. | |||||
