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.

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".
