Review the final results summary to see what worked and didn't and review the list of plants and how they responded to jumping worms. Jumping worm community science volunteers explored jumping worm management options. The University of Wisconsin–Madison has more on jumping worm egg identification. Eggs are very small but can be identified.

We don't know how many eggs each adult can lay.

The worms grow during the summer and the adults start laying eggs in August.

They hatch in late spring in 1-4 inches of soil.

Jumping worms live for only one season.

They can move across the ground in an “S” pattern like a snake.

These worms may jump and wiggle noticeably when disturbed.

The clitellum is located 1/3 the length down the worm from the head, and it is smooth, cloudy-white and constricted, unlike the swelled saddle-like clitellum of European earthworms.

They are similar in size to other earthworms such as nightcrawlers or some of the larger angle worms, but their clitellum (collar-like ring) and coloring are different.

Jumping worms can be 1-1/2 to 8 inches or more in length.

The ring (clitellum) on a jumping worm encircles the whole body evenly and is barely raised above the skin. Photo by Alfredo Eloisa, licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0.
