• Too bad there's no pic. I'd like to see an ALT using the phrase (from the article) "the worm is visible as a dark silhouette against the luminous slime." EEng (talk) 23:27, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

The trouble is that the worm lives underground, it's visible in the way you describe only in the laboratory when poked by a researcher. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:28, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

• ALT1 ... that when strongly stimulated, the earthworm Diplocardia longa is visible as a dark silhouette against the luminous slime it exudes? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:29, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Love it. EEng (talk) 18:44, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

• New enough, long enough, adequately referenced. Some of the language is close, but not word-for-word verbatim with the source, so it passes. QPQ done. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:34, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
