Last summer, I was sitting at night around a campfire in a lightly wooded area. There were some leaves on the ground from the previous year, dry with the summer heat. I’d been out there frequently through the season, so I was familiar with the typical sounds of night.
This evening in particular, I kept hearing the leaves rattle. I figured I’d been joined by some field mice or the local shrews and kept trying to catch a glimpse, but couldn’t see anything.
Finally, I decided to shine a light. The leaves were rustling over the whole area, and I could see dozens or hundreds of earthworms. So strange, as I’d never heard them before and couldn’t imagine why so many were above ground.
I looked closer, and each was actually a slimy pair. Dozens and dozens of earthworms getting it on. Apparently it was the perfect night for that sort of thing.
tl;dr I watched an earthworm orgy last summer
