guys today i picked up the largest worm i’ve ever seen in my yard and as i held it in my hand it split into two wriggling creatures? i don’t think it was injured when i picked it up, it seems like it just split that part off and they both continued to move. can someone who knows about worms and their biology please explain

pictured: moments after worm mitosis, slightly longer after worm mitosis, the smaller part, and the larger part

How a worm (Lumbricus terrestris) looks like from the inside. You can clearly see the hearts (red-lilac bubbles at the top) and tracheae (fluffy white).

I picked up a worm, and it wrote something in my hand with a tiny pencil. Unfortunately it was too small to read. An autograph? A spell? An angry note?
