There is a worm on Exoplanet 45383 which is not one of the exciting fauna found on alien worlds. It is not gigantic or bizarre or noteworthy. But when it sleeps, the tail end opens up and collects the nutrients in the soil. And they are pretty when they sleep. My host uses them to aerate the soil, and pulled a sleeping worm from the turf so I could get a good photo of their pretty backside. #scifi #exoplanet #MicroFiction #bloomscrolling #nature #photography
