At least it’s not the hammerhead worm being found here in Ontario, Canada now. Or you’d be fucked. They release a neurotoxin when touched.

A good way to tell is to look at the clitellum – the band encircling the worm’s body. Earthworms have a raised clitellum that does not fully encircle the body, whereas jumping worms have a flat clitellum, often gray or milky white in color, that goes all the way around its body without a gap.
