I went outside while the pavement was still wet after a rain last week – looking for earthworms. I didn’t find many on the driveway or the sidewalk near the street – but there was a parade crossing the sidewalk between our driveway and front door!

The majority seemed to be headed from the yard to the corner flowerbed that is rocks on top of landscaping cloth around the plantings. It does not seem like a welcoming place for them to be going. Most were large but there was one that was clearly smaller than the rest.
