What is another word for angleworm?
Pronunciation: [ˈaŋɡə͡lwˌɜːm] (IPA)

The word angleworm is derived from the old English word 'angulwyrme', which literally means 'fishing worm'. Some synonyms for angleworm include redworms, nightcrawlers, and dew worms. Redworms and nightcrawlers are especially popular as bait for freshwater fish. Redworms, also known as manure worms, are commonly used in vermiculture to produce compost.
