I tried this weird trick to summon worms up from the ground

Please help me find Doug.
worm charming (also known as worm grunting) is probably the weirdest sport ever. But I knew I had to try it. It was quite the experience!
I was legit pretty impressed that it even worked! Nature is neat.
If you're reading this, thank you! I actually so appreciate that you've taken the time to watch this video! :) I'll send you a worm as a token of my appreciation

I actually looked up a study on this, and apparently it isn't that the vibrations are similar to rain. Instead, the vibrations mimic those of moles, a major predator of worms. They know this because they tried simulating rain using a sprinkler and compared it with introducing a live mole. The sprinkler barely did anything, but the mole sent all the worms running for the surface. It works because the moles don't follow them up. They even played a recording of a mole digging, and it brought the worms up. The amplitude of the mole vibrations is also a close match to those of a worm grunter. The study is Worm Grunting, Fiddling, and Charming-Humans Unknowingly Mimic a Predator to Harvest Bait.

[@itsConnorCreates]

Woah super interesting! I had read too about the moles but not as in-depth info, thanks for sharing 🙌🏻

[@melonafawn]

Very informative! Thank you!

[@mohammadumam897]

if it is because they are afraid of the predator (the mole), then why do they approach the source of vibration instead of running away from it?

[@epoh8698]

''Whoa'

[@battleon81]

@@mohammadumam897 They actually don't. If you repeat it enough times and track the direction the worms move, it is random relative to the stick. Read "Worm Grunting, Fiddling, and Charming-Humans Unknowingly Mimic a Predator to Harvest Bait" and look at part D of figure 3.

[@greggminkoff6733]

The correct term is called, 'worm grunting'. It's a long established old Southern way of getting worms to come to the surface for harvesting. The worms come to the surface because of instinct. The ground vibration resembles a mole digging. The worms are trying to get away from the vibration. Moles eat worms.

[@itsConnorCreates]

Awesome! Thanks for the info 🙌🏻

We have done this all of our lives in south Georgia. We call it grunting for worms. We did not have a fancy stick. We used an old tobacco stick and a brick. You would rub the brick back and forth across the top of the stick. I haven't done that in years. It is easier to just go buy them now. But, when I was a child, you had to get bait however you could and this was one way. As I got older, I had a vibrating sander that worked well on the stick. It saved a lot of elbow grease. Anyway, I enjoyed watching.

[@itsConnorCreates]

The reason worms do this is because moles (their natural predators) make rhythmic sounds when digging. As an instinct the worms try and get away to avoid being eaten. A bit ironic that we are using its means of escape as a way of catching them. Also- ironic that the dune worm emerges when hearing rhythmic sounds to hunt, and actual worms emerge to escape from predators.

[@Usercode-g8wIt734Hgd2]

@@MrAsddasdasda in the video it may appear as if the worms are coming towards the sound- cuz they are emerging from the ground. But that’s probably the best way to escape a predator that is blind and lives in the ground for a living. Ik it’s probably hard to make sense of. But I promise that this is the scientific reason they do this.

to be fair, doug looks like he could charm a snapping turtle.

[@itsConnorCreates]

Haha yes excellent point

A friend of mine's father used two huge screwdrivers, stuck them about 2-3 feet apart, wet the ground and then used an electrical cord with alligator clips on one end. He attached a clips to each of the screwdrivers. Plugged it in the outlet for a few minutes, then unplugged the cord. We were picking up worms like dollar bills.

[@itsConnorCreates]

Haha that’s sweet! I would probably zap myself if I tried that ⚡️😅

[@facts_over_feelings]

I use to gather worms for fishing when I was a kid. We would drive a wooden stake into the ground and rub a 2x4 back and forth on the top of the stake. The vibrations would send the worms to the surface.

[@itsConnorCreates]

Awesome! I’ll have to try that method next time

Imagine its pitch black outside and suddenly you see a bright red light shining in front of your neighbors front lawn and a figure crouching down making a croaking noise holding a shovel to the ground

"yo nice worm staff, can i borrow it?"

When I was a kid we made "worm getters" from copper rods with wooden handles attached to an extension cord. We then sold the worms to place that packaged them as sold them wholesale.

[@itsConnorCreates]

Awesome! A small business I would wholeheartedly support

[@ComedyKraze1]

Ever seen a bunch of crows and seagulls stamping on the grass? They're doing the same method

[@itsConnorCreates]

Dang birds are smart!

[@pointcloud_]

okay if a life was a simulation like a game then devs are so cool for adding a very useful mechanic such as worm charming

[@itsConnorCreates]

True dat

[@The_reaper_101]

The ground vibrations for worms is really strong and the rely on it for getting out of it floods in the ground by rain.

[@itsConnorCreates]

🙌🏻🙌🏻 pretty interesting!

[@Novas_Nook]

It would be cool if crows, ravens and magpies could figure this technique out. Maybe if a human showed it to them and showed the other birds?

[@dudeimdudely7477]

I live in the Netherlands and a lot of people here have done this as kids for fishing. We like to use a spade, stick it in the ground and just shake it (can use any object or even stomp). I believe my dad told me the worms come out because their sense of danger.

[@itsConnorCreates]

Awesome! I’ll have to try that method next time!

[@DamageJackyl]

This reminded me of a few days ago. Walking out on my porch and seeing a beautiful Robin standing in my yard. I noticed it had something in its mouth so I go about as close as I dared and noticed it was a gob of worms, dirt, grass, and other assorted bugs, totalling approximately the diameter of a golf ball. I"ve never laughed harder. The little chonker was about to go home and _feast!_

[@catranger01]

Turning my weed eater sideways makes the worms come out of the ground so fast it's almost scary.
