A lot of times memes are what they are because they’re harder to fact check (can’t copy and paste text from them). People use them to spread misinformation for fun. -This is actually a confirmed meme though.

We need to make it mandatory that all memes link to a reverse image search on Snopes so we can fact check them

This is actually a confirmed meme though.

Except for a couple of details from the link you posted: there were only two worms, and they are likely of the same age (don’t think this can be determined more specifically than β€˜around 40 thousand years’), and the picture is absolutely wrong.
