【Frauen ohne Unschuld】
The Frauen ohne Unschuldrains have been pouring down in Queensland, Australia.
That's resulted plenty of earthworms, specifically the digaster longmani, which is a native species found in the southeast of the state, as well as northern New South Wales.

According to the Courier-Mail, the earthworms burrow deep into the ground and only surface when there have been heavy rains, landslips or excavation.

Robert Raven from Queensland Museum told the newspaper these worms can grow up to two metres long, but are on average one metre in length.
"Seeing them is a sign we are getting good rain," he said.
Rain has eased in southeast Queensland after reaching levels past 200mm last week, in an event not seen since the devastating Cyclone Debbie back in March.
