Title: Can someone identify me this worm like creature?
Post by: FregO on Sep 13, 2021
So basically these worm ,,things'' *(I am not a biology student so I can use incoherent words :P) are stretching out at night from between large stone stairs.
If someone approaches them close enough or flash a light to them, they disappear (shot their bodies back) in a matter of split seconds.

In structure it seems very similar to earth worms, but not totally. Their behavior seems totally different.
They usually appear after rain and the location is Middle-East Europe.

What do you think?




Thanks
