Their underground 'homes' are flooded when it rains, making it unsafe for them to stay in there. they go out until most of the water has receded.

its also a great opportunity to meet women, err females. now which explanation came first is an egg and chicken question Actually, worms don't drown, as they don't have lungs or breath like mammals. In fact, the way the breathe requires that their skin be quite moist. The real answer is the 2nd, they come out to reproduce. To mate ----------------------------------------------------- Check out the link below
Worm come out when it rains because... they can! Ignore what other people say which probably is "they'll drown when their holes fill up with water." This isn't true, worms need water or wet earth to survive. Worms can't drown, and they only come up when its warm out when they are trying to escape a predator. A worm in the water

To avoid drowning in the saturated earth.
Actually its so they can mate, they wouldn't drown

Earthworms lack lungs and rely on oxygen diffusing through their skin to "breathe" When it rains the ground fills with water and keeps oxygen from getting down to the earthworms, so they come to the surface to get to the oxygen that they need.
Worms come out of there tunnels when it rains because...... they can! Ignore what many people say which is "they'll drown". This is not true. Worms need moist soil and slime to survive! If you put a worm in a body of water he won't drown. If it is not raining or moist the worm will dry up.
Worms live underground. Unfortunately, the ground tends to soak up water when it rains, flooding the homes of the worms. They come out on sidewalks, because if they stayed in their homes, they would drown.
That their communication, residential, and transportation networks get flooded is the reason why worms emerge from the ground during rainfall events. Worms live and move in underground tunnels whose air, moisture, and nutrient pore spaces fill up as precipitation filters downward through the soil.
the rain floods their homes and they all come out which is also a great oppertunity for them to find that significant other and mate
some people think it is because they need moisture to breathe and the little amount of light from the sun confuses them
Earthworms do not have a skeleton at all.
Evaporated water mostly come from bodies of water.
Earthworms do not have respiratory systems. They exchange oxygen through their skin.
This is called precipitation. It can come as rain, snow, sleet, hail, or freezing rain.
Earthworms help the environment, so they can't be harmful to it. Unless they're dead, of course.
Earthworms come up to the surface during rain because the ground is saturated with water. If they stay underground, they will drown.
No
earthworms
by rain and wind
to moisturize its body
it kills them
The earthworms want to get away from the soil because they will drown if they dont.
Heavy rain, because it blocks up the soil so air can't get through
My experience shows that raccoons love the rain and love to play in the rain and mud. Rain also brings a lot of earthworms and grubs to the surface and these are some preferred foods of raccoons.
Earthworms like rain so they will move up to the surface when their is rain.
The earthworms are just protein and cannot hurt your dogs nutritionally. However, some dogs are sensitive and it can upset their stomachs so a minimal amount of earthworms is advised.
