Eudrilus eugeniae, also called the "African nightcrawler", is an earthworm species native to tropical west Africa and now widespread in warm regions under vermicompost; it is an excellent source of protein and has great pharmaceutical potential.

Under particular conditions, such as drought or lack of food, some epigeics such as Eudrilus eugeniae (often used in vermicomposting systems) or Lumbricus rubellus may enter the top few cm of the soil [26], and thus have an impact on topsoil properties.
