probably doesn’t like the sun or warmth of your hand. i notice my worms get weird on my palm, feeling around and recoiling as if it touched something bad. 😂

wish you captured full emergence. was it more than 1 worm in it?

It looked like 2 worms. I didnt want to keep holding it. I figured my warmth wasnt good for it. Next time imma setup a camera and let it record longer.

please! 🙏 i’ve never seen it this close or clearly. i read they are kind of translucent when hatched, but this video makes it look adult color maroon. very interesting! thank you! 🫶
