i dont know what you call a group of the little rascals...and i certainly dont know their scientific name...

but i thought u might find this kinda interesting...

in popular science magazine, bout 2 yrs ago, i read an article where this guy trained an earthworm to go thru a maze that he built. the maze was made of wood and the worm could get from start to finish every time.

this dude fed the trained worm to another worm...and the "other" worm somehow managed to get thru the maze with almost no problems.

i wish i could remember the issue and volume number because it was helluv interesting, but in any case, its true, i did actually read about this in popular science magazine.

the article talked about how worms somehow gained knowledge from the worms that it ate.

which is kinda strange cuz there are still remote and isolated tribes that exist in our world today who are canniballistic(they eat ppl) and they believe that they gain the knowledge of the animals or ppl that they consume...

The only thing i can tell you is that worms are A-sexual, meaning they can reproduce using their own body. pretty amazing huh!

in response to tricias answere your close,they are hermorphidites.meaning they have both male and female organs.they will hook up side by side and both get pregnant and get the other pregnant. they also regenrerate.meaning you cut part of its body off it will grow back,but only one part the other part will die.
