Eeek! No, Will, it didn't look like that. I hope I don't see that one either.
It looked more like the one in your article with a white ring. I remember the white ring, it was very distinct. It was about a foot long moving quite rapidly. I was able to run and get the shovel and hit the worm, cutting it in several pieces. My husband DID scoop the pieces up and threw them in the pond to feed the fish. I was thinking, I hope it's dead and won't grow into more worms.
I don't know if it's true but I've heard some worms can regrow?
I haven't found the picture yet.
