red worms
Soil-dwelling decomposers
Red worms are small reddish earthworms used for composting and fishing bait.
They thrive in decaying organic matter, breaking down kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich soil: The red worms turned our compost bin into garden gold.
Also called red wigglers.
They're favored over common earthworms for indoor vermicomposting because they tolerate confined spaces and process waste efficiently.
