Earth Worms
We saw an earthworm under a rock on the nature trail. It was on my arm and it was gross! Earthworms have mouths but do not have eyes, ears, or noses. They range from one to eight inches in length. Most earthworms are pinkish brown. Worm’s tunnels aid other organisms. Plants grow roots into them, and insects travel through them.
Now you know how helpful earthworms are!

One day I went on a little walk, a nature walk that is. The most amazing thing I found was the Pale Touch-Me-Not (Jewelweed). When you pick off a pod it pops! It is so amazing.
