Just saw the strangest ?earthworm?, around 1inch long, white, about 1mm to 2mm diameter and SUPER fast moving. I’ve never seen anything like this, I struggled to catch it ‘cause it moved that fast, then lost it. I know there are different types of earthworm but is this a native wriggler or should I have tried harder to catch it and dispose of it.

I’m not sure, Myrkk, could it be a type of flatworm….might pay to google it and see if you can find a matching picture!
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

I’ve googled to no avail OH. Did you know there is an earthworm society of Britain! Www.earthwormsoc.org.uk ? currently on their site having a wee search and have joined a facebook earthworm group too lol. Must admit to having a wee soft spot for our little wrigglers.

Blimey who'd have known there was a society or a site! Hopefully they will have a 'contact us' page so you can get a definitive idea of what it is. There are so many bad things finding their way to the UK like the Asian Hornet & the New Zealand flatworm, no worry to us but the Hornet wipes out the bee hives & the Worms feed on our earthworms with potential to change our eco climate.
