		Earthworms, members of the genus Lumbricus, are often thought of as the motivation for awakening birds and as the favored bait of the young angler.
		The night crawler (Lumbricus terrestris), introduced to North America by early European settlers, is an earthworm that ranges from 90 millimeters up to 300 millimeters in length and constructs burrows up to 2.5 meters (approximately 8 feet) in depth.
		In terms of animal biomass per hectare in terrestrial ecosystems, night crawlers hold the record, with densities of up to 70 per square meter of lawn or prairie.

		Lumbricus terrestris, a surface feeder that lives in permanent, vertical burrows, is one of the most active seed dispersal agents among earthworm species and is common in agricultural soils.
		Lumbricus terrestris gathered and buried A. trifida seeds beginning the day seeds were deposited and continuing for several weeks, whereas seeds in worm-free plots became buried more slowly by the physical action of rainfall and soil freezing/thawing.
		One-half of seeds in L. terrestris plots were buried within 2 to 8 days, compared to 47 to 117 days in the absence of L. terrestris, with small seeds being more rapidly buried than large seeds.

		Lumbricus terrestris is a large reddish worm native to (The 2nd smallest continent (actually a vast peninsula of Eurasia); the British use `Europe' to refer to all of the continent except the British Isles) Europe.
		It has an unusual habit of copulating on the surface at night, which makes it more visible than most other earthworms.
		In some areas, this is having a serious adverse effect on (The part of the earth's surface consisting of humus and disintegrated rock) soil structure and quality, as the soil aeration and organic material mixing previously done by the earthworms ceases.

		Nightcrawlers (aka "Lumbricus terrestris") do not do well in a greenhouse or home vermicomposting environment for several reasons.
		Some differences: An adult Lumbricus rubellus is much shorter in length than Lumbricus terrestris, is redder in color, does not make a permanent burrow for its home as does Lumbricus terrestris, and does not burrow as deeply.
		Lumbricus rubellus is often found under layers of decaying leaves outdoors or in manure piles.
