All about the earthworm

The earthworm is one of the insects and bugs in our Animal Kingdom. You can find it in soil in gardens and fields, and it eats dead leaves and soil. Listen for it: silent, wriggles. This page is a good fit for ages 3 to 8 (Preschool to 3rd Grade), and Buzzby can read it out loud.

Is the earthworm one of the insects and bugs?

Yes. Insects have six legs and three body parts. Spiders and snails are bugs but not insects.
