Oligochaete Development For terrestrial oligochaetes, development is direct without any larval forms Some aquatic oligochaetes retain a trochophore-like larval stage
Common Terrestrial Oligocheates: Earthworms Octagonal-tail worm (Dendrobaena octaedra) Red marsh worm (Lumbricus rubellus) Dew-worm or nightcrawler (Lumbricus terrestris) Pink soil worm (Aporrectodea rosea) Canadian worm (Aporrectodea tuberculata) Pasture worm (Aporrectodea turgida) Woodland white worm (Octolasion tyrtaeum) Redworm (Eisenia fetida )
