Red worms, also known as Eisenia fetida, are one of the most popular types of earthworms used in vermicomposting. These wriggly creatures are valued for their ability to convert organic waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer. While "red worm" is a common name for these worms, there are several other synonyms used to refer to them. Some of the most commonly used synonyms include:
- Red wigglers
- Red hybrids

Regardless of the name, these worms are a valuable addition to any composting system and can help reduce waste while improving soil fertility.
