I have often found earthworms when digging in the dirt in the yard. Finally, on March 2, 2017, I thought to photograph one of them.

Nightcrawlers can grow very long in the right conditions, but in the Houston area, I usually don't see any more than about six inches long. However, On April 18, 2017, after a heavy rain, some long earthworms, up to a foot long, came up out of the ground in a plant-less depression and traveled around on the surface for a while.
