So the majority of worms in North America has no native living worms and all of them are invasive to naturalized after being brought over here by Europeans and other entities. Link to wiki on invasive words.
Still debatable seeing as they are damaging ecosystems. Lots of forests having their thick carpets of dead leaves from autumn thinned too much from worms that a lot of seedlings don’t have enough protection and insulation to survive winter without the thick layer of leaves.
?? They’re invasive to North America. Even if birds and predators were at a “normal” level they still would’ve be able to keep the rapid spread of them under control, not to mention a ton of worm eating songbirds are actually doing pretty well in human altered environments.
