Abstract This paper summarizes the processing of small enchytraeid species for cinematographic documentation and covers the main details of a film on their locomotion, food uptake, anatomy and reproductive biology. This includes copulation, shedding of the cocoon and hatching of the young, characteristic reproductive patterns for all clitellate worms.
