Earthworms don't eat leaves, certainly not living plant leaves.

go back and read what i wrote. nowhere did i say
"earthworm", i used the terms "worm" and "compost
worm".


Compost worms are "Eisenia fetida".
Also known as: redworm, brandling worm, panfish worm, trout worm, tiger
worm, red wiggler worm, red californian earth worm

having raised such creatures for many years i think
i can tell what they eat...


According to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisenia_fetida

they are adapted to eating decaying organic matter.
That doesn't sound like "living plant leaves".

i also raise earthworms.

i usually don't bother replying to you because you are
so often wrong.


Worse than wrong is rude. No idea why he can't carry on
a discussion without name calling. The sign of a small
intellect.


Small intellect would be you, I did no name calling.


To be clear, you were just rude and it was uncalled for.
You do a lot of name calling.
