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
