Discovering the anatomy of the compost worm

Worms are the invisible heroes beneath our feet 🪱

They recycle organic matter, nourish and aerate our soils, allowing life to thrive. ♻️

Their anatomy is unique: no eyes, no ears, no teeth, no lungs... but 4 hearts, 3 pairs of kidneys and 2 sexes!

Not very glamorous? Perhaps. Essential? Absolutely.

You have beautiful eyes you know

Eisenia has no eyes, nose or ears. They are useless underground.

It is identified bylight-sensitive organs.

The earthworm has a sense of touch and gravity to orient itself in its galleries. It senses vibrations to flee when a predator approaches.

No arms, no chocolate

Its body is made up of 80 to 120 segments or rings.

These are lined with "bristles" (or hair) on the ventral side, which help it to move.

To crawl, it contracts or relaxes its muscles to lengthen or shorten its body. In this way, it can move up to 60 times its body weight.

Skin that breathes

Compost worms have no lungs: they breathe through their skin!

Its body must remain moist and viscous to allow it to breathe. If it dries out, it dies of asphyxiation.

2 times more love

Earthworms are hermaphrodites: they have both male and female reproductive organs.

Following mating, each worm lays cocoons!
