earthworm appreciation



did you know that every grain of dirt on this planet has been through an earthworm? earthworms are pretty awesome invertebrates. they just fertilize the soil for us! they eat it and then poop it out, but that poop is just dirt+vitamins!

sometimes when it rains a lot, the ground gets saturated with water and the wormies have to come out so that they don't drown. sometimes they get stuck on the sidewalk or asphalt and they start to dry up when the sun comes back out.

why not thank an earthworm by saving its life and just tossing it back on the grass/dirt when you see it on the sidewalk? i mean, it's a little silly, but they do a lot for humans!
