•The only form of communication that earthworms can give is through touch and taste.
•If one worm meets another worm, they usually does not react very much. The most earthworms will do is feel and slither around each other as a form of communication.
•Some worms can actually influence each other and form herds, but not the Lumbricus Terrestris.
•If they are mating, they will twist up next to each other and mate (bow-chikka-wow-wow), but most of the other time, they don’t interact with each other.
•Since Earthworms are at the bottom of the food-chain, they have many predators.
•This includes snakes, birds, moles, toads, and even foxes. Beetles centipedes,
leeches, slugs and flatworms also feed on earthworms.
•Earthworms can use their sense of touch to feel the vibrations on the surface to escape their predators.
•They try hiding in the burrows in the soil to escape the predator. Some worms can secrete bat-tasting chemicals. Some can regenerate a new tail.
