The bacteria in earthworms is called Eisenia Fetida it's in most earthworms
The mucus that the earthworms excrete through pores in its skin as well, as aiding the worms progress, also acts as a waste disposal system of nitrogen laden waste products, and acts as a protective film which prevents toxic material entering the body, but at the same time allows absorption of oxygen. The nitrogen rich slime lines the earthworms burrows to bind together soil particles. Slime contributes as much nitrogen to the soil as do casts and urine. But this should not be overstated as research is not complete.
Around here, when it rains really hard and there is standing water on the ground, the earthworms start to drown. They come out of their borrows and try to find higher ground. Trouble is, they either drowned or can't find their burrows again. So after a big rain there are all these dead worms all over the place. More than what the birds can gobble up in a week.

They try to stay in their burrow
Because they rise to the surface- to avoid being frowned in their burrows.
My gosh they need the soil to survive it feeds and burrows in it and also protects the soil it is a critical procedure.
Earthworms, beetles, and ants. A number of mammals also have burrows in the ground, including foxes, aardvarks, badgers, armadillos, and groundhogs.

there are NO WORMS after heavy rain because they need rain but when its really hot they die because the don't have water. there are NO WORMS after heavy rain because they need rain but when its really hot they die because the don't have water.
Platypuses make their burrows in the banks of freshwater creeks and rivers in eastern Australia. These burrows are dug above the waterline, in order for the platypus to remain dry when it is not searching for food. They are difficult to detect as they are often disguised by overhanging tree roots, or part of the riverbank.
It is difficult to accurately estimate the total global population of earthworms, as they are found in many different climates and environments around the world. However, it is believed that there are billions, if not trillions, of earthworms present in various habitats worldwide.
They move completely differently, snakes use their ribs to "pull" themselves along. And an earthworm moves the fluids in their bodies to pull their bodies together, then pushes it out to moves.

Earthworms have a specialized skin that is covered in a thin layer of mucous which helps to keep their gas exchange surface moist. This mucous layer acts as a barrier to prevent water loss through evaporation. Additionally, earthworms can retract into their burrows during unfavorable conditions to reduce exposure to dry air and conserve moisture. Finally, earthworms have a well-developed excretory system that helps regulate their internal water balance, allowing them to survive in a variety of environmental conditions.
