This phenomenon was one of the first ways I saw evidence of the different paces of evolution.
Some part of the worm says “it’s raining, it’s time to go”, but it has little to no concept of pavement, asphalt, buildings, and foot traffic and therefore much to it’s surprise the worm ends up drying out on what’s essentially a humongous desert.
