 * Common Name:** European nightcrawler
 * Phylum: **Hemichordata

**Class:** Megadrilidae **Size:** A medium-small worm averaging about 1.5 grams each when fully grown. **Habitat:** They simply do not eat as much as a red nor do they tolerate Texas temperatures like a red wiggler will. Night crawlers prefer 40-70 degrees. They like it cool. And these worms like to burrow, making top feeding difficult. In other words they are not suited for tradition worm bin composting.
