The Woodland Trust and the BBC are apparently calling earthworm adaptation to deforestation an 'invasion' of alien earthworms.
Humans cut down forests and so create a new kind of environment for the local flora and fauna, some of which then take advantage of the new habitat 'niches' made a by another animal (that's us). But let's blame the earthworms instead.
Sigh.
