Anyone get these yet? I first noticed them a few years ago in a compost pile. They've really spread since then.

Yep got them down here in Pa. too lots of them. Not good for fishing, they don’t stay on the hook just break off to easy.

Interesting, I have had worms like that in my mulched soil for many years, not sure if they are the same species or not. The article says they were first seen in 2013. I wonder if there is a similar species that behaves the same way. I remember seeing them for many years before 2013. Like Roger said, they are no good for fishing they break into pieces and won't stay on a hook very well.
