Did this observation get ''research grade''?
I am 99.9% certain that this photo is impossible to identify to species, sadly.
Really? I mean I know there's a lot of species but can't they be narrowed down to Minnesota?
A very quick search didn’t give a Minnesota list; just a reference to the fact that there are around 60 introduced species in the US. What species are you calling “Common Earthworm”? I have normally heard this referring to Lumbricus terrestris or possibly Allolobophora longa, neither of which are much like your photo. I did find a species which seemed plausible, but it is not one that I am familiar with, I do not know what features if any are diagnostic, and the features which usually are such as the position of the clitellum are not visible in the picture.

It isn’t a typical Lumbricus terrestris; it more resembles Lumbricus rubellus, but I do not know if that can be proven , rather than just quoted as a possible.

Spring is almost fully here; bats are out, crickets are chirping, and the migrant birds are arriving. Still need a butterfly to appear though.
