That picture shows you 3 different sizes of worms. That means at least 3 different hatchings. I found them for the first time Saturday. They were only about a 1/4" long then. Now some are over 3". They grow very fast. I'll give ya a couple dozen to salt your tree if you want? That's how I got these. A guy from Texas mailed me a couple dozen worms to salt my trees 3 yrs ago. No worms last year, but back in good numbers this summer.

Bob,

What kind of worms are they? What kind of tree do they use for habitat?

In Lawrence, we have had a problem with bagworms. that has me thinking - I wonder if they are any good for bait?

When I was a kid we used to use worms for fishing - but they were marine worms (bloodworms and sandworms) that used for flounder fishing.

They are Catalpa worms, Pete. I'm sure that's not the "scientific" name but it's what we Southerners call em. They are the larval stage of the Sphinx moth. They feed only on the leaves of Catalpa trees, hence the name.

OK. I have heard of them and I have heard they make great catfish bait. Hmmm, I did my graduate work on a virus that kills catfish and I worked on catfish in Mississippi. I think I will leave the catfishing to others!

Awwww, come on Pete, the bottom dwellers need some love too.
