A little beetle passed me by. He didn't make much fuss, He ran around my garden Like a tiny yellow bus. A worm is the gardener's unpaid helper. Worms can eat up to one third of their bodyweight in a day. Some earthworms may live as long as eight years.
Worms can live near the surface of the soil or even down to twelve feet below ground.
Worms can move objects up to fifty times their own weight. As anyone who has spent any part of a summer in the Mediterranean countryside can attest, the cicada, mostly through its incessant singing during the hot daylight hours, is a constant and ubiquitous contributor to the ambiance. For cleanly and innocent bees, of all other things, love and become, and thrive in your orchard. Around a flowering tree, one finds many insects. It may be doubted whether there are many other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the world, as have these lowly organized creatures.
