Aquatic Worm - Family Naididae This worm was really fun to watch. It could curl it&#039;s body up and then stretch it out to be much longer than expected. It maneuvered through small holes in leaves and pulled it&#039;s entire body through. I accidentally broke a piece of it off and was relieved when it was completely unaffected. <br /> <br /> Habitat: Collected from the muck on the bottom of a small woodland pond.<br /> <br /> <section class="video"><iframe width="448" height="252" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/724513245?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" frameborder="0"></iframe></section><br /> <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/137212/aquatic_worm_-_family_naididae.html" title="Aquatic Worm - Family Naididae"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/137212_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=zDL%2FtT01fCQFCfVMCEo39Rz5sQU%3D" width="200" height="140" alt="Aquatic Worm - Family Naididae This worm was really fun to watch.
