This is a very unhelpful article (in its current state). I'm glad that there was an article to be found on this topic, but it provides no information that is intelligible to readers who are not biologists/taxonomists. What does a blackworm look like? How big is it? Is it actually black? Is it similar to another animal that most readers would be familiar with? (an earthworm, a tapeworm, a flatworm, etc.) "L. variegatus is presumed to be holarctic in distribution" -- I'm hardly an uneducated reader, but I have no idea what this sentence means. An encyclopedic article should have far fewer dependencies on vocabulary that is significantly distant from the mainstream. (I'm not sure what the Wikipedia terminology is for this) 24.34.62.208 (talk) 06:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC) gsm

Picture[edit]
Why is there a picture, that shows deformd individual? As far as I can tell, it is not really common to find two-tailed worms. At least not in laboratory experiments. In the "Human" article you won't expect a picture of conjoined twins or people with six fingers per hand as typical representatives of the human species, so why would you here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.37.166.248 (talk) 09:38, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
