Predatory Worm Discovered In North Carolina Has Scientists Puzzled
This thing looks like something from outer space. A predatory worm discovered in North Carolina has some scientists puzzled. According to North Carolina State’s Plant and Insect Clinic, this unknown worm has been found in flowerpots at a North Carolina nursery.
Predatory Worm Discovered In North Carolina
According to our source, the Charlotte Observer, the worms have been found in three different locations. A new study says they were found in Charlotte and also in Kinston in Lenoir County and Locust in Stanley County.
No Threat To Humans
They do know there is no threat to humans but scientists are not clear about the damage that could happen to the ecosystem. In a press release from the clinic, here is what the director says about the worm,“The new species is called Amaga pseudobama and we know very little about it,”.
The press release published in the Charlotte Observer goes on to say,“It has not been observed in the wild or native habitats, so we don’t know much about how it interacts with its environment. We can infer from what we know about related species, but we don’t know precisely what it preys on, how quickly it reproduces, and so on.”
It kind of reminds me of that little alien creature in the movie, “Life”. But I’m sure it’s fine. We will stand by to see what more is discovered.
