Wife came across a big group of these worms. Probably in the thousands
What are they and are they something I should worry about.
have seen one here and there, but not this many in one location like this.

Thanks

If that is an electrical pole check for stray voltage. That is how guys around here make worms come up is putting a current in the ground.

Don't know what they are, look like regular earth worms to me. You got no birds around there ?

If I found that many, time to go fishing. The rest of the worms would go in the mulch pile. I here worm poo makes great fertilizer for garden.

I've never seen that many worms either in one place. Worms must have had a big party.

will second that comment. That appears to be a power pole with conduit coming down the side, and I would call the local power company and ask them to check it. When I was a kid I used to take an old radio antenna from a car and make a wooden handle for it then attach a wire going to a plug. If you turned the electrical plug the right way you could feel it vibrate as you slid it into the ground. Worms would come out of the ground starting a foot or so away, and you could pick them up, but be sure they were completely out of the ground first. :lol: they would tickle a little if still partly in the ground. The worms close to the rod never came up, I assume it either killed or stunned them. As dangerous as that and other things I did as a kid were it is a wonder I survived this long.
