Earthworms are interesting. Most of their life is spent, as their name implies, in the moist earth. These burrowing creatures live, breed and thrive below the surface in moist soils.

Then the rain comes, and these little buggers come to the surface and can be seen everywhere. In parking lots, on sidewalks, in grassy areas, you name it, the rain instinctually calls the earthworms from their subterranean world. Earthworms need moisture to survive, this is why they live and travel in moist soils, but the rain provides them with an alternate means of travel (on the wet surface) which can also help them to move great distances faster as opposed to burrowing. However, their instincts that drive them to the surface also brings dangers. Now that they have emerged they are susceptible to the birds who prey on them as well as the sun drying them out.
