"Mawworm" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
A mawworm is a type of immature ocean worm, typically found in intertidal areas, that resembles an earthworm and lives in a burrow or tube. It is usually brown or reddish-brown in color and is about 2-5 inches (5-13 cm) in length. Mawworms are often found together with other marine invertebrates, such as crabs and snails. They feed on small animals, such as insects, snails, and other worms, and help to break down decaying organic matter in the intertidal zone.
