We have those all over here too. Been fishing with them since I was a kid. I had no idea it was an "invasive" species and not native. From what I understand all worms in the America's are invasive. The first introduction being worms that were within the root balls of plants brought by European explorers. From wikipedia: "A total of approximately 182 earthworm taxa in 12 families are reported from America north of Mexico, i.e., USA & Canada, of which 60 (ca. 33%) are exotic/introduced."
