African Nightcrawlers (scientific name: Eudrilus Eugeniae), are also known as ANC’s, or Africans. They are rapidly becoming the favorite composting worm of those who want to produce higher quantities of Worm Compost/Castings in less time. The African Nightcrawler can compost over twice the quantities of food scraps and/or manure than other composting worms. They breed very rapidly, and is the largest composting worm available, growing up to 7-8 inches in length. They are also a good fishing worm. In Australia, the African Nightcrawler is possibly their most loved and used fishing worm. In fact, in Australia, fishing is one of the largest hobbies and pastimes of any country in the world.
Whether for composting or fishing the African Nightcrawler is quickly becoming the most sought-after worm in the World. African Nightcrawlers are a tropical worm and need to be kept in the 70’s (temperature). When they are full grown there is approximately 300 worms/lb.

SPECIES DISCLAIMER
It is not possible to guarantee 100% pure worm species with any type of composting worm. It is always possible for occasional roamers that leave there growing tray and get into another species tray. There is always a chance of receiving a few “other” species in your order. These “other” species are usually also great composters. So far, to date, we have not received any complaints on this issue but it does happen in the worm industry occasionally even when taking many precautions. While we raise both Red Wigglers and European Nightcrawler worms here at our own farm, our African Nightcrawlers are raised and are drop-shipped to you from another worm farm we have partnered with.
When placing an order please read our shipping policy for details on when we ship and what to do if there are any problems with your worms upon arrival.
It took a bit more than expected also the tracking showed a different address. We but our shipment. Overall ok with the purchase
I would have to say that was the best packing ive wver seen in a worm order shipping worms especially africans to maine in march is scary with our weather and a heating unit was placed with the worms and box was insulated the worms arrived in fantastic shape i will not hesitate to order from midwest again and i hoghly recommend them
It was nice to get mostly adult worms. It is fun to watch them head down into the
Dirt when the light is on them or I spray water. I am having a hard time finding any cocoons, any suggestions?
Took the worms out of the bag and came outside in the morning to find about 1/4 of all the worms didn’t leave where I put them in the shade so not sure if they cooked in transit or what happened
Good communication from the seller and helping me arrange a time to be home to receive worms during a cold winter.
Worms arrived thoughtfully packed in a box, inside the box a breathable mesh that retained the worms and packing media, with what looked to be a sealed heat pack.
I unpacked the worms and gave them some hydration as recommended by the seller. I had a few escape one day, but have not had any issues since they got settled in to their new worm bin.
I would rate higher if product was a little more affordable, but the worms were totally worth it, quality ANC worms.
