    With thousands of species of worms, it’s impossible to tell unless you get a lot closer.

    But I noticed something unusual…does that worm have a split end part? Or does it just look that way?

    Identifying worms is very difficult and usually requires magnification and a fair bit of expertise. It doesn’t narrow it down too far, but if the two main groups of worms (nematodes/roundworms or annelids) it appears to be annelid from the way it moves. Probably an oligochaete of some kind, the same class as earthworms.
