I do found something interesting http://ncf.academia.edu/SarahMcManus/Papers/189748/Autofluorescence_in_earthworm_setae

Great spotting. I have seen one earthworm (I think) with "fluorescence" colors like those except that the one I have seen does not have such long "fluorescence" colors like your spotting.

Were the colors stationary or did it change as the worm moved like a sheen?
