I used to have a crippling phobia of worms, and watching any of these videos or even hearing about them would have sent me into panic. It prevented me from going to college for biology after highschool. Now its been 3 years since i started exposure therapy and I work in landscaping, inevitability covering myself in all the microbes that once ruled my life. Watching this video showed me Im ready to finally go to school for biology

I should give that a try, I've moved past most of my childhood fears but my phobia of worms hasn't diminished despite trying to understand them or associate them with close invertebrate relatives like molluscs that I appreciate. Still watch my steps and get fight or flight when I'm walking after rain and earthworms are everywhere, and pictures of things like proboscis worms or leeches make me recoil. I think it's prob similar to many people's reactions to snakes, but I love snakes and find the movement/lack of a defined head or eyes/texture of worms much worse ⚡

We started a composting worm bin last year. They eat all our veggies scraps and have done an incredible job of consuming all our boxes of wine boxes, Amazon boxes etc, and even our cannabis harvest waste. Collected about 20 gallons of vermicompost so far. Incredible, industrious little colony. Of course they are happy as every compost worm could only dream of consuming wine boxes and weed trim. 😂

when I do gardening and look at the soil under my nails I always think"sorry,hate to do this" before they get soaped and rinsed off.

As a biologist annelids almost certainly evolved their coeloms completely independently from vertebrates, so it was not shared by the common ancestor. Annelids sit in Spiralia, a completely different animal group from vertebrates in dueterostomata. In fact, contrary to what many high school text books say today, there are four major groups of bilateral animals, spiralia (flatworms, annelids, mollusks and friends), Ecdysozoa (arthropods, nematodes, velvet worms, and a few others), and Dueterostomata (echinoderms, hemichordates, and chordates including vertebrates), then there are the Acoels flatworm like animals which might be dueterostomes, but most likely sit as an outgroup to the other three groups. While the base of the bilaterian tree is very contentious, there is a lot of building evidence that the last common ancestor of bilateria was acoelomate and flatworm like. So earthworm coeloms and human coeloms are most likely convergent evolution.

Overwhelmed with a massive load of stunning information supplied with amazing visuals, I would like to thank you, MicroCosmos team, for this "film of nematodes" and to add my remark, how absolutely opposite, indeed, is my attitude towards "free-living" worms and parasites: peace (tolerance) and war (resistance)!

28:20 there are products available that claim to be beneficial nematodes for the garden. They're supposed to feed on the larva of ticks, fleas, and other pests. I sure would like someone with a microscope to verify the claims of these products, like whether or not they even contain live nematodes.

My favorite worm is an aquatic worm I used to find in my aquariums for a while: Aulophorus furcatus, belonging to the oligochaeta. It gets over 1 cm long. They were easy to watch, wedged into the ground directly at the glass, with the head in the ground, foraging for food, and their rear end (I learned that later...) sticking out. The funny detail is that besaid back end looks like a chubby HAND, with 5 fat fingers, plus 2 thin ones. They slowly moved all the time, but not in the way you would expect a hydra to move when/after catching something. Watching one under a microscope, I could see they had to have cilia allover the 5 tentacles, since the water there constantly moved, visible by debris being whirled around. When I identified it, I found out the broad tentacles are actually GILLS, while the 2 thin ones are for sensoric purposes. Oh and they also can swim, like a corkscrew, but don't do that often. Tentacle butt worms, I miss you, you were funny. 💔

Worms do be wriggly like that sometimes.

You guys make all video technology elsewhere seem obsolete, the quality is first class.

I knew I recognized the voice. But, man, you sound so relaxed and chill here.

The quality of this documentation is simply astounding....Well done!!!

I love this channel!!! Thank you for continuing to upload videos even though the view count might not be as high as your other channels. ❤️

Hank is legendary and this channel is dope. Thanks for the journey today 👍🏻

This is so well written, and have beautiful visuals and a soothing voice. Amazing content

I bought myself a microscope after seeing your videos. Absolutky amazing what is around usm Best of all was finding a tardigrade last week. My canera is a bif naff though, so need to find something better so that i can share my adventures

the videography is incredible

Worms are one of those types of life that twist my own sense of wonder and awe. They are on the surface, so mundane, yet when we get to know them, see their place in the world, we see just how important they are. I can't help but think of Dune's god-like worms when thinking about how important worms are in our everyday lives.

This is one of the greatest videos of all time. It's informative and interesting, but it's very subversive and forces a perspective that most people would never have. Totally rad. Liked, shared, subscribed.

The worms crawl in the worms crawl out the worms play pinochle up your snout... The Hearse Song by Harley Poe is the worm song of all time.

This video is both educational and interesting, thats why I like journeying to the microcosmos with you guys, so much going on and you explain it so well.

Im new lol Is this all between 2 panel things and what type of microscope is that? Its incredible!

"Dune" showed us that worms are critical for the UNIVERSE!! :O

I caught an annelid while looking at some fish tank water under a microscope once, and it was the most terrifying and magical thing I had witnessed thus far. I had no idea what it was, so I had to google stuff like "microscopic worm with big hairs on the side" until I found it hours later

So is it the microscope that makes everything clear when it gets down that small. I’ve noticed every time I see something in the micro verse they are always see through. You can see everything inside it so is everything just clear on that level or does it have something to do with the microscope magic🤔🤔🤔

While oozing waste out from your skin sounds terrible, we humans do it too. Sweat is primarily used for cooling the body, but it can also get rid of certain wastes. It doesn't usually happen in large enough amounts to be notable unless your other means of waste filtering and disposal are overwhelmed (so like, no need to rush to a sauna to detoxify), but it is something that happens!
