Why does rain bring worms out on the sidewalks?
Answer
Worms come up and out of their holes so that they won’t drown. A rainstorm of any size is likely to fill a worm’s home with water. Worms may crawl to the sidewalks because they’re higher ground than the dirt around them, or we just may notice them more on the sidewalks. Look around—they may be everywhere.
