Bait bucket inhabitants

Worms are a large group of invertebrates that includes many parasitic species.

Worms can also be the larval stage of an insect, such as a mealworm, which is the larval stage of a beetle.

The word worm is also used for other creatures with similar characteristics, such as velvet worm, which is a caterpillar-like invertebrate unrelated to other worms.
