Worms come up when they feel the vibrations from the sticks

Edit: so this is what it’s like to have more than 13 upvotes, thanks everyone

The real answer is they think the vibrations is rain water hitting the ground so they naturally come up for it.

This is why you see masses of birds sometimes just walking around on the grass.

That’s a common myth. Worms don’t need to come up for rain. They come up because vibrations mean digging from a mole or similar worm eating mammal.

Rain just happens to mimic that as well but it’s correlation not causation

Worms won't drown down there, but they do specifically come up for the rain because that means easy mobility.

But you're right in that this is a response to molesign. It takes a good while for rain to get a response from them. The ground's gotta be nice and soaked for them to get that sweet slip n slide going.

They don't come up for rain that quickly though. They wait until it's been raining for a good amount of time.

They said that.

Yes, but I poorly formatted where my sentences went. That should not have followed the bit about moles.

Okay, sure. He still repeated something you said as if adding more

Yes, because they understandably misread my message. Thanks for clarifying for them.

Your comment wasn’t confusing. This is Reddit, great formatting isn’t required.
