Oops -- I thought this posted already. Vanessa and Zane were so funny with this worm. We decided it would have made a great fishing worm. As it was drying up they realized it needed to be placed back in the ground. It was pulled up with a bunch of weeds we were pulling. Vanessa didn't have the patience for the worm to find its way back, so she and Zane poked holes to encourage it to go back in. The worm wasn't interested. Perhaps he was enjoying V&Z's attention. Then Vanessa and Zane pulled up a clump of sod and tucked the worm underneath. I hope they didn't pat the sod too hard.
We talked about eating bugs one night at dinner. Here's what we learned about eating earthworms. "Here`s what you didn`t know about earthworms: they`re very high in protein and iron, therefore healthy and full. In some areas of Venezuela, these properties have long been discovered and ever since, earthworms have been included in meals or eaten raw."
