how big is it? male worms are robust, tuberculate and measure 6-12 mm in length, females are longer (7-17 mm in length) and slender.

how long does it live? they live a average of 3-10 years, but in some cases as long as 40 years.

unique body features: they reproduce asexually in freshwater snails.
