did you know that there are no native earthworms in the US?
they're all imported.

I used to think that too, but have changed my idea. Here's a quote from
http://www.nrri.umn.edu/worms/action/FAQ_sheet.pdf.

There are over 100 species of native North American earthworms in
unglaciated areas such as the southeastern U.S. and the Pacific Northwest.
However, native species have either been too slow to move northwards on
their own or they are not able to survive Minnesota's harch climate.

Fortunately for the earthworms, once global warming* really gets
going,, conditions in Minnesota and northwards will be much
more benign for the little darlings, if not for us...

* Yes, Mr. President, I know it's only a fiction concocted by
those pinko commie environmentalists.

We still have pinko commies? I thought it was those "terrorist jihadi"
environmentalists.
