Uh huh. Good ideas Did you ever see that movie, The Jerk, with Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters: "Waiter! There are SNAILS on her plate!" I've thought about raising silkworms in my mulberry trees, too, until I heard someone explain it's cruelty to animals. Actually, I don't like worms that much, but that red one took the cake.
are you talking about a bright red worm, or just a reddish brown worm? Well, it was pretty red, but not brilliant red, and not really brownish red either. It was like something out of a bad dream, that was real. I didn't think worms even had eyes. there is something called a bloodworm that grows in new england, but i don't think they live there. did you buy the shrub and transplant it? it could have come with the shrub. we have gigantic worms that people use to fish with in tennessee. they are earth worms and some can get as big as 1/2 inch thick and about 8 to 10 or more inches long, but i thought everyone had them. The sad part is, that bush has been here since we moved in. That worm was part-way out of the base of the bush -- extending maybe five inches. It came out when I was watering, like worms do, and was laying on the ground. When I put my hand down there, in the shady area where it was, that thing darted back, all the way back into the root of the bush, quick as a flash. It really freaked me out. I don't if it was a bloodworm or not. Does it sound like one? i personally don't go in my yard looking for bugs because the most common bug in my yard is a wasp. there are also ugly beetles of all kinds. my nephew found a really ugly bugand we had to research it on the internet to find out its name. it was an assasin bug or another name for it was a wheel bug. it had a fang about an inch and a half long and it had not yet formed its wings. it would suck the blood from the other bugs in the cage with it. Yikes - that really sounds horrible -- it makes you wonder why these things were ever created. i am still in awe of a bug i saw about 6 or 8 years ago. if anyone in tennessee on this chat forum knows what it might be i would appreciate it very much if i could get the name. it is about 3 inches long, looks like a giant brown ant, and has a giant darker brown bubble on the back end and clicks when it walks. it crossed in front of me and i honestly thought it was a wind-up bug. i'm sure there would be no toy made to look like that. That is amazing -- my sisters in Georgia have told me about the humongous bugs they have out there. And YET they are trying to talk me into moving down there. They don't have a clue.
