The morning after a warm rain is the time to find belated earthworms that have been tempted, through their enjoyment of refreshing draughts of water, too far away from their burrows. But to find them 1 Charles R. Darwin, The Formation of Vegetable Mould, Digitized by Google GARDEN FOES AND GARDEN FRIENDS 139 at work is a different story, since during the day they remain quite listless. Darkness is the season for their industry. Hunting earthworms with a lantern may sound tame sport, but it is, ...on the contrary, curiously exciting. If one approaches the worms stealthily, they are seen lying stretched along the moist surface halfway out of their holes. The hind end still clings to the burrow, while the mouth is sucking and tug- ging toward the hole scraps of leaves and grass. The ease with which its wonderful elastic body is able, by expanding and contracting, to accomplish such feats offers one of the most striking lessons in animal mechanism. The reaction of the worm when stimulated by the lantern's rays and by human footsteps may also be noticed.
