	Earthworm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		Earthworm is a common name referering to the segmented worms, phylum Annelida, class Clitellata[?], subclass Oligochaeta[?], order Opisthopora[?].
		Earthworms are hermaphrodites, but cross-fertilize, and lay cocoons, from which small but otherwise adult earthworms are born.
		Indeed, it is probably not much of an exaggeration to state that the humble earthworm is one of the most vital living creatures on the planet, for its actions are essential for the creation and vitality of soil, upon which every living thing is dependent.

		Earthworm is the common reference for the larger members of the Oligochaeta (which is either a class or subclass depending on the author) in the phylum Annelida.
		Earthworm populations depend on both physical and chemical properties of the soil (such as soil temperature, moisture, pH, salts, aeration and texture), as well as available food, and the ability of the species to reproduce and disperse.
		Earthworms are also eaten by many invertebrates such as Ground beetles and other beetles, snails, slugs and flatworms.
