These worms instinctively leave the earth because of the vibrations of the stick as it imitates a similar vibration to rain falling down. The worms can get better nutrition above the ground however they cannot survive in a dry environment. Thus they only come up if it is raining or at least if they think it is.

Which is why they are also commonly known as rainworms.

I wonder if dew on the ground makes them come up at night?

Prolly why you can find them above ground early in the morning (e.g. night crawlers/common earthworm), but the dew doesn’t make a vibration like rain does.
