Thanks for the great info! We'll definitely check out that book. Something about them (perhaps it was only the mysterious situation in which we met them) hinted that there was much more to them than we thought. Your link was also very interesting -- a lot to learn there! Apologies as well for taking so long to get your comment up -- for some reason (probably the link), our spam-catcher snatched your comment and wanted to eat it. From now on, your comments should be posted as soon as you make them. Thanks for adding your insight! Hello barefootheart!

It was quite eerie, actually. The sounds were everywhere, and when we picked up that first leaf and found nothing at all, it got even stranger. We imagine it would be a fun experience for kids to see if they can accomplish a catch-and-release of one of the worms. And just sitting among the rustling leaves was definitely an experience in itself. Thanks for your comment! Hello Shawna! It was quite eerie, actually.

What an experience. Thanks for sharing. I can almost hear the forest floor rustling. I’ve never experienced night crawlers quite like that before or on that scale. What an experience.

Earthworms are way more fascinating than you'd ever think just looking at them. May I recommend a book? I just read Amy Stewart's The Earth Moved: On the Remarkable Achievements of Earthworms. It's a good introduction. Earthworms in forests can be a problem. They are non-native and they remove the leaf litter other critters live under. Check out the Great Lakes Wormwatch at www.nrri.umn.edu/worms/ Hi Rebecca and Kenton. Earthworms are way more fascinating than you’d ever think just looking at them. May I recommend a book?

You're right -- the number of species can be overwhelming! It's quite astounding to imagine the vast worlds, populated by strange and curious creatures, lying just under the forest debris. Thanks for the comment -- we always enjoy visiting your site, and LOVE the photos =) Hello Delson!

I am found of "creepy crawlies" but there are so many millions of their species that, its nearly impossible to know all of them and so many of them live underground that, it needs perceiverence like how you had just to spot them. Thank you for you comments on my post. Delson Hi Rebecca and Kenton, very lovely post and I saw your website too yesterday and I so love the work that you do.
