Wormholes are consistent with the general ...

In some areas where it is an introduced species , some people consider it to be a significant pest for out-competing native worms.
These worms live in deep burrow systems and require water in their environment to respire. [2] They have relatively long life spans for invertebrates and can take 5 years to reach maturity. They breed in the warmer months and produce egg capsules that are 4 centimetres (1.6 in) to 7 centimetres (2.8 in) in length which are laid in their burrows.
