While earthworms and grubs may seem somewhat similar in appearance, they come from two completely different biological families. Earthworms are soil-dwelling terrestrial invertebrates that belongs to the phylum Annelida and are not considered insects. Grubs, on the other hand, are classified as insects because they are the larval stage of beetles from the superfamily Scarabaeoidea or moths from superfamily Zygaenoidea. Both earthworms and grubs live underground and can play important roles in the ecosystem by recycling organic material. Grubs, although, can also be considered agricultural pests.
The worms chosen for this set come from the Lumbricidae are a family of earthworms. About 33 lumbricid species have become naturalized around the world. This set includes some of the most commonly found earthworms in the world as well as the unique “Giant Earthworm” from the Black Forest. Grubs included are the White Grub (Beetle Larva) and the iconic Witchetty Grub (Moth Larva) of Australia.
