Worm ID

What's up with the color? The worms I dig up here, or the nightcrawlers I get at the bait store, are dark red/maroon. Is that one actually greenish yellow??!!

yep...we have the angle worms in normal pink (I use them as feeders), green, not sure if I want to feed them and the dark one there...kinda odd...but threw him in to show the variety. the pink ones I have in the photo are large adults...most are smaller and great for feeding little babies...easier to take down than big fat nightcrawlers, plus i don't have to cut them up....

The ones in NY are also dark red/maroon, I wonder if soil type makes a difference? Although, NY and VA have different soil types...hmm, maybe there are a lot more worm species than I realized...

Don, those worms look "anemic" to me .
