Earthworm Field Guides

I have been trying to identify earthworms in North America for a couple years now. I have been using several guides to identify these earthworms and I have stumbled across some others that might apply to other parts of the world. Below I will be posting links to these guides. I hope you find these useful.

Canada / Northern USA:

UK (will work for most species in the USA because most are introduced from the UK. This is the main guide I use for identifying earthworms):

France (appears to include a lot of niche species, but the taxonomy may be outdated, I have not personally used this guide):
