    Last week, hundreds and thousands of earthworms, from all corners of my lawn, up and decided to commit mass suicide in the sun on my porch!! Not kidding,..could be tens of thousands when you include my driveway, front porch and walk!!It all happened in a period of 2 days....I also notice that my lawn looks pretty unhealthy, but the good news is that it looks bad mostly where there was patches of crab grass. I mostly have centipede grass, and Im seeing some red and purple at the tips as well. Im kinda guessing its just the time of year, but the worms kinda freaked me out. Is this a sign? .....I mean what the hecks going on in my lawn to make the worms do that?

    Well no, the worms sorta shriveled up after a few days so they aren't as noticeable. I tried to take a picture of the lawn to take to Lowes, but its just a camera on an old phone, but I could never get a really good pic to show. The lowes people didnt know what was going on either.

    Vibrations make worms surface so if there was any kind of earthquake or pavement construction etc that could have caused it. Otherwise no idea.

    No, I wish I did, it all happened in a two day period a week or so ago. Im awful about letting those Kodak moments slip by. They have since shriveled up and we had some rains that washed most of them away.

    Thats interesting, I just dont know of any construction around. As far as earthquakes, we dont really get any here that we can feel anyways, although Ive heard really slight seismic activity around. Just not lately. could very well be the reason though.

    I was thinking maybe its just something that happens around the end of summer/ first of fall. Ive seen times where there was what I would consider "alot" of dead worms. Like 5-10 on the porch, but not like this. Weve been in a drought for like the past 10 years, and this year he have the most rainfall this area had in the last 60 years. So maybe with all the rainfall, the worm population exploded and Im just not used to seeing this many. I dunno...

    Has it been raining a lot? The red could be from the mower tires....or it could be a fungus as well....
