A

The best time to see earthworms is at night, especially a cool, damp night. That’s when they come up from their burrows to hunt for food. Earthworms don’t like to be in the sun because they br eathe through their skin, and they can’t breathe if their skin gets too dry. So they try to stay down in the earth while the sun is out. You may notice that if you happen to dig up an earthworm, it soon burrows back into the earth. Sometimes earthworms don’t make them back into the earth. When that happens, you’ll see a dead worm all dried up by the sun. Earthworms must come out of the earth if it rains a lot, because they can’t breathe in their flooded burrows. What a dangerous life!
