earth-worms
Can anyone help identify what is attacking the worms in our garden?
It is a small (app19mm long x app 2mm thick) maggot like thing that seems to burrow into the poor worm and eat it from inside
It is most distressing to watch and even if the maggot is detached the poor worm still writhes in agony and eventualy dies
We value the wildlife in our small garden and appreciate it all has to eat but this is a most disgusting way to do it
