Watch Out for Them!

트로피이미지

Earthworms come out of the ground on rainy days. It may be because they cannot breathe under the wet soil. But, there is another possible reason.

The raindrops make the ground vibrate. Earthworms confuse the vibration with the sound of their predators, such as moles. So, they climb out of the soil to run away.

They are just scared little worms. Be careful not to step on them!
