A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing (with digital note) of an orange-red segmented worm with caterpillar-like legs, head and five segments raised up to look straight on at the viewer. They have enormous shiny black eyes and antennae with three curls, almost like antlers. They are smiling (I think that’s a smile), and their sharp, jagged teeth are visible. The rest of their body is stretched behind them to the right. They are bright orange, with darker spots all over, and each segment of their body is ribbed (lengthwise along the whole body) in darker orange stripes. They have a pair of feet with six flexible digits on every segment, and they are using their top three pairs of feet like they are hands. The top pair (nearest the head) are holding a white paper that says “Thank You!” in scrolled handwriting, with a little red heart. The second pair are holding a grey stone, the third pair are laced together, resting on that segment of their body. On the next segment, the feet are on either side, digits pushed up on the ground to raise their body. Below that, the feet are on the ground under each segment. The background is brown like dry earth, with little white spots like small stones. Above the worm’s head is a little framed sign that reads “STONE WORM”. They use these digits to burrow through the heavy clay soil prevalent in the eastern U.S. next to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and they are very small. They shed their teeth regularly, like a shark, so sharp-eyed gardeners will often see their shed teeth when digging, though most people mistake the teeth for quartz chips. Despite their bright colour, they are not poisonous, but they might bite. No one has ever seen one, so no one knows for sure. The only evidence is their shed teeth!
