This form of activity is often seen as a way to escape floods and soaked caves. Such movements are apparent during and after heavy rains and usually occur when people notice a relatively large number of earthworms, for example in urban ecosystems. Surface movements on moist, flat terrain have been reported at velocities of 20 m / h, with nocturnal activity outside burrows during a single surface advance of up to 19 m, based on path length measurements. SETAE-Correspond to the surrounding ground-like protrusions like small hair. The worm has a hydrostatic backbone and travels through longitudinal and circular muscle contraction. Deep brown next to reddish brown and the back declining to his back. The body is cylindrical with the body, except for the rear and flattened back. It has about 12017 segments, often 135150. Lumbricus Terrestris is relatively large,generally 110 to 200 mm (4.3 to 7.9 inches) and about 7 to 10 mm (0.28-0, 39 inches).
