I’m afraid this is jumping worm. #922988

Asked December 19, 2025, 11:26 AM EST

I noticed this worm jumping and flailing around. I have video too. Can you tell from this photo what kind of worm it is? It’s pretty small- probably 3 inches long. Thank you!

It is hard to see the parts of the worm needed to make an ID. I have attached a pdf that can be of help in doing an ID. I you believe you have the jumping worm please let me know.
