Just came back from a short walk in the rain. While on the way out I came across a worm slowly inching along, right in the middle of the sidewalk. Overcoming a certain apprehension -- this guy was Really big -- I tried to pick it up, but as I did so it violently writhed and wriggled out of my fingers and fell back onto the sidewalk. This happened several times but I finally managed to pick up the slippery, slimy creature and put it down on the rain-softened earth over the adjacent retaining wall. Before resuming my walk I waited until I saw it start to dig its way into the soil. This was my first worm rescue since moving to Korea.
Number of worms rescued: 68
EDIT: I just came back from a quick trip to the supermarket, and on the way back I found another (not nearly so large) worm on the sidewalk. I removed it onto soil as well. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo.
