Wormlet Dynamics: Probing the Viscoelastic fluid like Behavior of Entangled active Worm droplets

California blackworms exhibit remarkable collective behavior, actively entangling to form living worm blobs. These active soft-matter assemblies display viscoelastic fluid-like behavior. As an illustration we let the entangled blob flow through a nozzle and observe long continuous thinning jets and droplets. By varying the water content in the blob, we explore the impact on the shapes the flowing blobs take in free-surface configurations. We also study the deposition of these worm droplets in a solid flat surface, resembling a classic sesile droplet. Varying water to worm ratio changes the effective surface tension of the deposited wormlets and the respective droplet spreading dynamics. Both configurations are analyzed through a direct analogy with the behavior of an effective complex fluid. Droplet deposition and spreading is widely studied across interdisciplinary domains, these insights could improve our understanding of the role activity and entanglement plays in flow dynamics of soft active entangled materials. This work can also help us understand the collective spatial adaptations California blackworms do to stabilize themselves in conditions outside their natural aquatic environment.
