Hi Miguel,

In the laboratory, earthworms usually live to a maximum age of between 4 and 8 years, depending on species. However, due to predation, earthworms caught in the wild are rarely over a year old.

For more information on earthworms please refer to my answer to question 954651208.Zo.

Regards,

Rob Cruickshank
