This worm was crawling atop the snow in my backyard today. (Perhaps to escape the water saturated ground?)
Usually I let nature take its course but - feeling omnipotent - I moved this hapless critter to a patch of bare, thawed, less saturated ground.
A worm atop the snow probably has little to no chance of escaping the notice of hungry birds, or of reaching safe unsaturated ground, but even a slight chance of survival must have seemed better than the alternatives. Snow must be a horribly hostile environment for a worm to choose…
