Lumbricus terrestris a.k.a earthworm.
I once received a formal complaint from a physician to my medical director when I identified this creature as earth worm. The State Laboratory confirmed that specimen being Lumbricus terrestris and everything was OK.

It has rings arround it's body.
and "a saddle" which is his or her sexorganel.
when you look at the mouthpiece under a stereomicroscope you see a screwlike mouth.
If it were a Ascaris worm the mouthpiece with be like 3 plates.
The body of Ascaris is smooth and has no "saddle".
