imagine the fish you could catch with that! Although you'd probably need a really BIG hook

What is it??

 

[Randolph XX()]

yape, but it only hooked up more Japanese collectors to put more bling bling on collection them, not fish
i've heard in 1910's there's one twice larger than that, which is now in Japan....

 

[radjess331]

what kind of worm is that?

 

[squirrelfriend]

I would hate to see your sidewalks when it rains.

 

[beetleman]

WHOA!!!!! now that's a nightcrawler!:clap:

 

[REAL]

I saw on this television show where there was an earthquake and they went somewhere where the earth was splitted. The guy jumped down and he pulled out this MASSIVE and extremely long earthworm. It was way longer than that I think.

It was on the discovery channel or something when I was a little kid.

I wanna see the early bird get that worm

 

[radjess331]

lol it would have to be an ostrich sized bird

but yeah so know one knows what species it is? or how to keep it/ raise it? or how to sneak it into your country and raise an army of them to rule the world mwahahahaha!...ooops sorry but the evil laugh but yeah anyone with info on this species?

Awesome stuff. Imagine the stuff that we don't see living in the ground underneath us, I'm sure there are much bigger ones

One of my biggest wishes in the world is to see every unknown/unseen/undiscovered/weird creature on this planet, of course in a protective environment. Don't wanna get killed for being too curious.

I can't even imagine how many fascinating creatures there are out there. What we might think of as "the biggest" of this and that, might not even be the biggest. Think about talking about peruvian centipedes and marveling over their size and finding out there's something out there that completely and utterly dwarfs even them.

I would love that, thats something that even money can't fully buy.

I'll trash the tv anydays for that. TV SUCKS!!

Yea same here, but you and me both know thats not possible. There are still too many places that humans cannot travel to. I'm sure one day we would be able to venture the depths of the ocean and the underground. Maybe the mole people really do exist?

What about bigfoot in the forests? I'm really skeptical about this, but then I also think about all the sightings that people have reported and who would make up such a thing? I mean it doesn't just pop into one's head, does it? I'd like to see this one proven true or false before my times ends.

Well DUHHHH man...thats why we use magic or something like this:

Except cooler looking cause we can't be seen going around with something so stupid looking. And we'll have like a forcefield protecting us from any harm and whatever is inside that forcefield will be protected from any unnatural forces beyond human standards (don't wanna get killed by intense heat/cold/gravity etc). And we will have the invisible screen option so we can become invisible to the creatures so we can watch them and they wont run away.

But yeah, we don't even have flying cars yet and we've only managed to explore less then 10% of so said existing livable space. But your right, can't get it if we want it right now..hence me saying

I would love that, thats something that even money can't fully buy.

All I can say is, same here man, same here. I would die happy if I can see all that. I would love to go on an adventure my life is soooo boring I'm starting to ponder the meaning of life. I don't just wanna get married and work my butt off to stay alive!! IS THERE MORE!!!

Ah the futility of life sometimes...

 

[Drachenjager]

i have seen worms that size in Texas
we dug a septic system south of Temple and found huge earthworms

 

[Thoth]

Shai-hulud!!

 

[Pink-Poodle88]

Excellent specimen... what species is it and is it native in North America? I've read that biologists actually don't know entirely how to properly classify worms yet and there is still plenty of debate over the taxonomy, systematics, and classification of them because these animals are so different from any other. However, I don't know much about worms myself. I've read there are some that can be 13 feet long, but the book didn't show any pics unfortunately.

 

[mr.wilderness]

That is so cool. Period. I heard here in the states down south some can get pretty large (like 2 or 3 feet I think) but they arent that common. Would be awesome if we had some as large as those australian gippsland ones tho

 

[cacoseraph]

Shai-hulud!!

blessed is the maker and his passing

 

[bugmankeith]

And thats the reason where you found it has good quality soil (judging from the lush background), worms like that are very important to the ecosystem it's a shame there being caught just for collections.

Last time I saw a worm that size was a black and white photo of a very long worm, a bit larger than the one you have. Mabye it's the one they have in Japan?

Biggest worm here was at least a foot long, but never any larger. The slime they produce was more than a slugs!

 

[radjess331]

i dont htink they get over a foot in the states unless they were flatworms.....i live in cali and if there were worms that long here in the states i think it would be more commonly sold and talked about

 

[Choobaine]

that thing is gorgeous! I'd love one just to watch it suck leaves under and stuff. Worms fasciante me.
