MrM, in May Cinder worms come out of the mud to mate

SB, I was looking up "May Cinder worms" and It was kinda funny to find out that it's a local terminology.
This is the where the quote is from

Cinder worms is jargon like slang on the local street corner, they are local names and do not identify anything for those who are not familiar with the slang. The worms we usually see are in a large group of different species called Errant Polychaetes which means they swim.

So, since this intrigued me I started reading up on different kinda Errant Polychaetes and found some in a class of species called "Fireworms" that can be deadly or cause loss of limb (amputation). To your (or anyone else here's) knowledge are any of the species in New England in that class?

Now I have to start readin about worm hatching..... hehe
