We have gotten a lot of rain this year. When we get a lot of rain, there are frequently earthworms on our patio. I’m sure this isn’t unusual throughout much of the world. What is unusual is to look out the patio door and see an earthworm at EYE LEVEL. This little guy had managed to make it nearly six feet up a pane of glass. I had no idea earthworms could scale glass, let alone get that high up and appear to be quite comfortable while doing it. If (s)he* just had a tiny cape, we would have ourselves the next super hero.* I have no idea how to tell the sex of an earthworm and I’m kind of uncomfortable thinking about it.**
** I understand that each individual worm possesses both male and female reproductive organs, but it just isn’t as funny that way.
