The Spotted Glistening Meadow Worms are a rare species of worm. They made their first and only appearance in the episode Pet or Pests.

Description

Adult Spotted glistening meadow worms are about a couple inches long. Newborns are extremely short. They are pink in color and have a darker pink on their legs.

Behavior

They tend to move like an inchworm. Snails are their enemies, like snails and worms.

Newborns spit out a green secretion for an unknown reason. This is most likely for self-defense.

Reproduction

It is unknown how a Meadow Worm reproduces exactly. From the episode, Mrs. Wormsley was pregnant for approximately one 24-hour period. The worm would stay under something probably in order to ensure its young's safety. Its belly was stretched out only until its children's birth which was the next day.

Habitat

The adults make a nest out of what seems to be brown, dead seaweed. Under that seaweed is a small hole which its size varies from the adult's. When a large object impacts on the nest, it easily breaks apart.

Conservation

Since this worm is a rare species, it can be noted that this animal is threatened or endangered. However, when Krabs sold these worms, there is a possibility that they can still be sold on the market. Otherwise, Krabs was violating and avoiding the law… which is no surprise.

Known Specimens

Mrs. Wormsley is the most notable specimen of its species. She has five young, which all look similar.
