UM-Bot Posted May 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Scientists have warned that huge worms up to 40cm long have been silently invading French gardens. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/318219/giant-predatory-worms-have-invaded-france 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphalesion Posted May 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) Are those things dangerous to humans, like parasitic? Or are they just "predatory" in the sense that they eat insects and dangerous in that they can have a negative environmental impact?

TheFightingHellkitties Posted May 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I read in another article that these "hammerhead" worms hunt and eat common earthworms which in turn throws off the balance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddword Posted May 22, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 22, 2018 This thing looks like some kind of creature from the Alien Prometheus movie. The one that got inside one of the astronau'ts space suit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitterRose Posted May 23, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I was picturing Dune or Tremors. And then the thing was 40 lousy cm long. Pfffft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom the Photon Posted May 23, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) I'm sure the French will come up with a recipe for them. "Ver plat à l'ail, monsieur?" Edited May 23, 2018 by Tom the Photon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFOwatcher Posted May 23, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) For those interested, 40 CM = 15.7480314961 inches. So what has changed in France? Edited May 23, 2018 by UFOwatcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonopahRick Posted May 23, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hmmm...They might make good fish bait as long as they don't bite when you put them on a hook. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted May 23, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) If frogs will eat these, the French should put a moratorium on eating Kermit for a while and release the frogs! There has to be something that will eat the flat worms. Larger birds maybe?

That's why I'm not a big fan of ragworm you pick them up to hook them and the cheeky little buggas nip you for your troubles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteHoratio Posted May 28, 2018 #14 Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) There is alot of animals who have invaded where they are not meant to, such as Cane Toads, Red Foxes, or Wild Boar.

What don't you get? Wow, almost my whole comment is gone! What I don't get is why living in a developed country should have an affect on worms invading gardens? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
