Awesome worms

Annelids or segmented worms as they are often called are a group containing earthworms, leeches and marine bristleworms. Each week at the museum we celebrate this fascinating group under the hashtag #WormWednesday with many others on social media.

This is an opportunity to highlight the importance and often spectacular beauty of these animals. We tweet specimens from our collections at National Museum Cardiff, as well as the research that goes on behind the scenes.
