dan hufferd Posted November 15 Posted November 15 My uncle lives in Alabama, I guess they are already there.
Maverickpro201 Posted November 15 Posted November 15 Thats what happens when we continue to import from these country's. Most if not all invasives are imports. snagged in outlet 3 1
tjm Posted November 15 Posted November 15 All invasives are imports, otherwise they would be natives. I read once several years ago that all earth worms in the USA are invasives, but I'm not sure that it's true.

Redworms (red wigglers - Eisenia fetida) and nightcrawlers (Lumbricus terrestris) are non-natives to the US. Both species seem to originate from Europe. snagged in outlet 3 1
BilletHead Posted November 15 Posted November 15 So are Asian jumping worms and we have them now around here. Invasive jumping worms can change their world | US Forest Service "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

tjm Posted November 15 Posted November 15 Pretty well naturalized by now, I picked night crawlers by the hundreds in south Idaho as kid and by the thousand years later in southern new England and have found them in the woods in the Ozarks. The internet says those "red wigglers" are "manure worms" so I guess they must be continent wide as well. All things are becoming Globalized. No longer talk of "invasive" now they are just "new to the region".
