摘要 |
The present invention is related to a method and means for packaging earthworms or other light sensitive worms wherein superimposed layers of water absorbent sheet materials are spaced from each other a worm diameter distance or more apart to provide compartment space for containment of worms and to which worms can crawl to hide and thereby, in effect, package themselves in aligned layered relation. More specifically, the package of the present invention can be a roll or a stack comprising superposed spaced layers of moisture absorbent sheet material with corrugated sheet spacers therebetween such as corrugated cardboard which forms longitudinal channels or compartment spaces into which worms can and desire to crawl thereby to effect a self-packaging in aligned relation each to its own channel. The package can then be inserted in an air admitting container such as a perforated plastic bag for handling and storage.
