Good chance up there if they are a large worm they could be what is known as a Canadian nightcrawler as they cannot tolerate heat but love the cool soil... around 50 to 60 degrees tops. Bruce Chris

They feed well in a bin but like cool bedding. Is there any place i can send a few to get identified? Thanks! I live in montana and have found a bunch of local worms living in the horse pasture.

When you are ready to look at fishing worms, you will want to look at either the European Nightcrawler or African Nightcrawler. Both are excellent fishing worms, each with its own benefits... European nightcrawlers are better for cooler waters and can withstand brackish water. African nightcrawlers are more heat tolerant and are larger. Also, being you mentioned you are looking for red wigglers to strat with for castings, the African nightcrawler has a prettier castings as it is darker and fluffier. As for the quality, there is no difference between the two nightcrawler castings... just the look and feel of them. Bruce John

I'm really looking forward to Santa bringing me a worm composting bin. I want to get started raising the red wrigglers for the compost and castings but also because I have a couple Grandkids who love to fish and the cost of retail worms equals about 10 cents every time the bobber hits the water. I look forward to more info from worm people wherever I find them...Thanks. I found this video very helpful for identifying the pros & cons of each type of worm.
