You’re not wrong. The Hebrew wording is ‘…any graven image or any likeness of any thing that is in Heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth.’
Ultra-conservative Jews take this so seriously that they will not take photographs or allow themselves to be photographed by another Jew.

So are they not allowed to take pictures of earthworms or fish?

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
