Long slender worms
I have a plastic box with water in it in my yard. on the rim of the box
was a long thin worm curled up which looked like photos that I have seen of heartworms. Could this be a heartworm? It is about a foot long when stretched out and about as thin as a piece of string. I put it into the water and later in the day when I checked back it seems to have died. Can heartworms live outside of an animal? I searched for images but could not find one that looks like it except for heartworms. John |
