Answer:

Earthworms are delicate. Careful handling is important to avoid damaging the internal organs.

Place the worm with the dorsal side up. Start the dissection 2 centimeters posterior the reproductive segment. Snip the skin above the dorsal blood vessel ( near the posterior pin) through the septa to the mouth.
