<b>Q. Can earthworms regenerate themselves?</b>
A. Yes, but only the front or head end of the earthworm will survive and <b>the amputated tail portion will die.</b> This remaining front portion must also be long enough to contain the clitellum and at least 10 segments behind the clitellum. This makes up about half the length of the worm. The new posterior segments grown will be slightly smaller in diameter than the original segments and sometimes a bit lighter in color.
