The Worm That Smells Like Lilies

The above white worm is a sample of the giant Palouse earthworm, Driloleirus americanus which can grow up to 3 feet in length, smells like lilies and spits at attackers. These worms are now in the middle of a legal suit between conservationist groups and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service because the groups want the worms to be protected under the Endangered Species Act but the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only label the worms as vulnerable.
