Bloodworms come from the genus Glycera, and are a common bait in sport fishing.
Bloodworms are pinkish in color, and can grow to about 14 inches in length.
They are found in tidal flats and shallow waters, and can bite leaving a painful, bee sting-like reaction.
As fishing bait and pet food, bloodworms are found live, frozen, and freeze dried.
Bloodworms are carnivorous and feed on just about anything they see by everting out their mouth a portion of their digestive track along with their teeth at their prey. See the video below of this in action.
