Zucchini can be dark or light green. A related hybrid, the golden zucchini, is a deep yellow or orange color. In a culinary context, zucchini is treated as a vegetable; it is usually cooked and presented as a savory dish or accompaniment. Botanically, zucchinis are fruits, a type of botanical berry called a pepo, being the swollen ovary of the zucchini flower. Zucchini, like all squash, has its ancestry in the Americas.
Worms lay eggs in the soil. Most earthworms are not native in a lot of places in North America, especially the northern latitudes and coniferous forests. Virginia should have lots of worms. The nightcrawlers and the red worms that are the most common in gardens are both European species.
Pinworm eggs are found in the human colon and rectum. They are transmitted when an infected host scratches the area and touches other people, food, or objects. The ascaris roundworm is transmitted mainly through feces and is thus prevalent in areas with poor sanitation.
