That's actually not a worm. We use a platinum wire to transfer worms to the plate and it's easy to damage the surface of the agar plate which is quite soft. The problem is that this leaves a mark that the camera can pick up. What happened here is that the worm crawled passed the hole and the tracker got confused and stayed on the hole instead of following the worm!
