How does a banal earthworm become a valuable commodity? Lumbricus terrestris, otherwise known as the Canadian nightcrawler, is the most popular live bait used by recreational anglers throughout the world. Join Susan for a talk with Joshua Steckley and a deep dive into the juicy underground world of nightcrawlers. Joshua will be at Irene's Pub for Author Meets Readers, April 2, 5:30pm.
