The Zoologist, vol. 7. 1849. p. 2576 W. K. Bridgman who watched worms in his garden says the cases of Phlox verna appeared to be a particular favourite of worms – that they selected an old & decayed leaf – draw small fragments quite into burrow – also draw a flower of Jasmine, & [also taken along] crawled over a fresh leaf which had been placed in its course & draw fallen corolla of a Jasmine into burrow. He examined their action by the aid of a light as did C. Newman & Lucy [Wedgwood]
