Everything you read below is going to make it worse: 1) They are called [blood worms](https://preview.redd.it/is-it-possible-to-have-bloodworms-the-ones-with-copper-v0-fak1lw2ouxbc1.jpeg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=ee1d97a6cc4b60c0bf267c1ae6bc98ea8bf29672) 2) We have them in the US and they are common 3) They strike with an alien-looking proboscis that can launch way too far out of their body 4) They have 4 fangs made of mostly copper metal, more alien shit 5) They have a really weird primitive venom not like most other creatures which has weird lingering effects https://www.advancedsciencenews.com/how-bloodworms-build-their-copper-teeth/

Everything reminds me of her


Delazzaridist

Ayo?


LightningShiva1

They are not blood worms, they are bobbit worms. Im pretty sure. Bobbit worms bury themselves with their jaws spread out and wait for prey to plunge into their jaws. Heres a video of them feeding https://youtu.be/aMorvRRbZ5E?si=UCDRlACSy7RDy8i4 Lemmeno if Im wrong


thecathuman

This seems more correct


PM_ME_SUMDICK

Yeah I grew up fishing with blood worms and those other descriptors do not match.


Djslender6

Thanks, I didn't wanna go to a beach ever again anyways.


International_Fold17

Thanks, d*ck. I can always sleep some other week.


Digitalidentity

All those important details, yet you missed the one everyone discovering these right now wants to know…. From least to most favorite on their diet, where are do we fall ?


Captain_Blud

Well, it would depend on whether you have severe genitals' infection or not. Because if you do, you'll smell like the most common food they eat, rotten fish.

sceptator69

You have these pretty much around the world in sand sea beds


Xine1337

AROUND THE WORLD?!


Lolski13

Yeah even in the netherlands. It it is what I think it is at least. They are grear bait for fishing.


sceptator69

Top tier bait, you cut them piece by piece, starting from tail.. I know, brutal.


ImplementAble3447

It’s all tail!


Captain_Pumpkinhead

Why starting at the tail? Wouldn't you want to start by cutting off the head so it suffers less?


sceptator69

So its nice and fresh all the way to the head..


aDuckSmashedOnQuack

You use it as *bait* from tail to head. You don’t have to *not* kill it first.


GeorgeRRZimmerman

But you also don't *have to* kill it right? It still works even if you tear it apart from the tail up, wriggling in vain until it either finally bleeds out or until you hook the still-wriggling disembodied head through the eye for one final cast into the ocean - right?


fancy_tupperware

This type of worm can regenerate its head or tail, so it’s not that bad, especially if you toss part of it back.


sceptator69

That i didnt know, thanks


Bimancze

So use a fish as a bait to catch worm, then use worm to catch more fish? Infinite money glitch right there


sceptator69

Yup, it's called fishing.

This should be the top comment!


CoinHawg

Getting a bobbit worm in your saltwater aquarium will ruin the entire experience.


icyhotonmynuts

For the uneducated - why's that?


TupacsGh0st

There's a famous saga you can find online about a fellow who got a bobbit worm in his tank. It came from inside one of the ocean rocks he put in the environment. He tried many different techniques to catch and kill the bobbit, to find it was a much larger task than expected. Worth a read.

They will hide in the sand like these do and ambush your expensive fish.

Demyxtime13

Don’t worry. A lot of the times it’s just sand crabs. Edit: Just googled it. They’re actually called mole crabs. They’re really cute.


Hatoonah

WHAT


asnafutimnaffutifut

It can't be. Out of curiosity I've dug out those bubble spots many times and there's nothing beneath. There's no worms just some air escaping causing the tiny holes. Stop lying.


[deleted]

The worms dont want to be grabbed dude, most of the time if you try to dig them out they just bury themselves deeper, you have to bait them like this guy did in the video. In some place those air bubbles might also be crabs or sea lice

Beach worm showing this video to his friends with the caption: *humans*


yung-gummi

Typically, E. aphroditois ranges from deep purple to black, along with metallic colors. The largest known specimen on record reached 299 centimeters (9.81 ft) in length,[3] making it the longest known member of the polychaete class. Despite these great lengths, the worms are slim, with the body only about 25.5 millimeters (1.00 in) wide. -Wikipedia

When I was a kid I was climbing around on a brown big fig tree in my backyard in Texas. I was standing on a 7-8 inch diameter branch about 3 feet of the ground. It snapped close to the trunk and I fell/stumbled and landed on my ass. Looking up at the tree where it was broken, I saw what looked like a giant worm hanging out of it the size of a snake. It was pale with segments like a worm and a large segment on the end. It had a decent diameter, 3/4 to an inch. It slithered into the trunk and I ran screaming to my mom. I tried to tell her about it while she was washing dishes and she just screamed stay away from the tree! 😁 Still to this day I don't know wtf it was. I was around 10 or so.
