Asian jumping worms found in California, officials issue warning (Thanks to Bernadette for this one)
They reproduce without mating and there is no way to kill them!
"The jumping worms’ hyper-activity degrades the soil structure, can harm plant roots and accelerate soil drying. This creates a ‘nutrient-poor paradox’ where nutrients are present but unavailable to plants. This can further exacerbate drought conditions, which the state is already in,” the Colorado Department of Agriculture said in a press release.
