A very tiny new arrival at Underhill Worm Farm.
This is a red wiggler hatching from a cocoon. Newly hatched worms are extremely small and nearly transparent, and they gradually develop their familiar reddish color as they grow.
It’s one of those parts of vermicomposting that usually happens completely out of sight, so I was pretty excited to catch it on video.
