Project Noah Fun Fact: "Earthworm" is the common name for the largest members of Oligochaeta. Earthworms are hermaphrodites—each individual carries both male and female sex organs. They lack either an internal skeleton or exoskeleton, but maintain their structure with fluid-filled coelom chambers that function as a hydrostatic skeleton.

Nice to see a species that many people would not bother photographing!
