 Re: what are the conditions in which a lumbricus terrestis and rubellus lives?
Lumbricus terrestis is commonly known as the Nightcrawler, Lumbricus rubellus is the amazing Redworm and is nature's best composter as well as nature's best fishing bait.
For instance, though many people may be interested in the possibility of raising Lumbricus Terrestris (The Nightcrawler, or Dew Worm) in the house as a source of fishing bait, this is simply not very plausible when we consider that this particular worm prefers temperatures in the area of 5-10 degrees Celsius.
Perfectly suited to an indoor existence, the culturing of these animals presents next to no problem, requiring only a minimum of effort, and presenting no hardship for those of us who share their place of residence.

 Lumbricus terrestris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lumbricus terrestris is a large reddish worm native to Europe, but now also widely distributed elsewhere around the world (along with several other lumbricids), due to human introductions.
Lumbricus terrestris is an anecic worm, that is, it forms permanent deep burrows and comes to the surface to feed, as opposed to burrowing through the soil for its food as most other earthworms do.
In some areas, this is having a serious adverse effect on soil structure and quality, as the soil aeration and organic material mixing previously done by the earthworms ceases.
