The Noke (Eisenia fetida), also known as the tiger worm, red wiggler worm, panfish worm, trout worm, tiger worm, red Californian earth worm, or Eisenia Andrei, is a species of earthworm adapted to decaying organic material. These worms thrive in rotting vegetation, compost, and manure.

Description[edit | edit source]

The Noke is a small, reddish worm averaging about 35 millimeters (1.4 in) in length. It has a distinct, darker-colored "head" end which does contain the worm's brain.

Habitat[edit | edit source]

Noke worms are epigean, i.e., they are surface dwellers. They are used for vermicomposting.

Vermicomposting[edit | edit source]

Vermicomposting is the process of using worms to decompose organic food waste, turning the waste into a nutrient-rich material capable of supplying necessary nutrients to plants.

Reproduction[edit | edit source]

Noke worms are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs.
