St Louis County Parks and Rec says there have been reports of a hammerhead worm at Cliff Cave Park.
They have long ribbon bodies and a crescent like head. Hammerheads are originally form Asia and the department says they can damage the local ecosystem by killing our native earthworms. These worms can generate -- so if you cut one into pieces each piece can become a new worm. If you spot one, don't touch it and don't cut it. Put it in a bag with a shovel or gloves. The parks department says put vinegar, rubbing alcohol or soapy water in the bag and freeze it for 48 hours, then toss it in the garbage.
An invasive worm that's hard to kill has been reported in a county park.
