Claim: Visuals of worms raining in Chinese Province of Liaoning (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-03-10)
Evidence (2023-03-10): Chinese media outlets and authorities made no such reports of a worm rain phenomenon, and close inspection of the video showed the so-called worms were not visible on nearby roads. Chinese residents and journalists identified them as the catkins of the poplar tree, which are a common sight during spring. Catkins are groups of flowers that hang from trees and do not have petals. They can be found on many types of trees, and the wind helps carry pollen for reproduction. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.

Claim: Visuals of worms raining in Chinese Province of Liaoning (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-03-10)
Evidence (2023-03-17): A video went viral in March 2023 claiming to show worms raining from the skies in Liaoning, China. The video shows some parked cars covered in small cylindrical worm-like objects. Several media outlets, including the New York Post, shared the video. Social media posts shared the video claiming the Chinese government had issued an advisory to the public to carry umbrellas while outside in the event of worms falling from the sky. However, these claims are incorrect. [...] Social media users clarified that this was inflorescences from poplar trees. Inflorescence is a flower head of a plant or tree, and the one seen in the video is classified as a catkin, which resembles a worm when looked at from a distance. Such trees bearing inflorescence categorized as catkins are found in several places in China, including Liaoning. Shen Shiwei, a political commentator and journalist from Beijing, has replied to a similar video claiming to show worms raining in Beijing, shared by The Rio Times. Shiwei noted that this was fake, as he lived in Beijing and that there had been no rain for the past few days. The viral video shows that it was drizzling, and people are walking with umbrellas. [...] A video of vehicles covered in worm-like objects in Liaoning, China, is, in fact, that of inflorescence that had fallen from trees. The objects on the cars are not worms, and there were no worms raining in the area. Therefore, we have marked this claim as false.

"Magical phenomenon of worm rain, China sees worm rain," reads the caption in traditional Chinese characters to a YouTube clip published on March 11, 2023.

Evidence (2023-03-22): Rumor Scanner team has found that the video claiming that millions of worms fall with rain in Beijing, China is false. Actually the scene is captured from poplar trees flowers falling in Liaoning province, northern China. [...] Basically, spring in China is when poplar flowers bloom. At this time the poplar flower spikes fall. Recently, the US media New York Post published a report entitled "China pummeled by ‘rain of worms’ as residents asked to carry umbrellas" with such a video recorded in the case of poplar flower spikes falling on top of cars in Liaoning Province, northern China. Later, based on this report, the news about the claim started to be circulated in various foreign media.

Evidence (2023-03-15): A video claiming to show a rain of worms on cars in Liaoning Province of China has been circulating on social media. Let’s verify the claim made in the post. [...] Fact: Chinese media outlets and authorities made no such reports of a worm rain phenomenon, and close inspection of the video showed the so-called worms were not visible on nearby roads. Chinese residents and journalists identified them as the catkins of the poplar tree, which are a common sight during spring. Catkins are groups of flowers that hang from trees and do not have petals. They can be found on many types of trees, and the wind helps carry pollen for reproduction. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE. First, we conducted a thorough search of Chinese media outlets to determine if there were any reports of a worm rain phenomenon. However, we could not find any such reports. Additionally, we did not come across any announcements from Chinese authorities asking people to take shelter due to raining worms, as claimed in the post. Additionally, upon closer inspection of the video, it becomes apparent that the so-called "worms" are not visible on the nearby roads, which would have been the case if they were raining down from the sky as claimed.

Some claimed that the incident happened in Beijing, while another asserted that the footage showing ‘worm rain’ is from the Liaoning province. Users said that following "this astonishing incident," Chinese officials have recommended locals find shelter. However, Newschecker has found the assertion to be incorrect. [...] A report by Times Of India carried the viral footage with the title ‘ ‘Worm Rain’ in China: Video goes viral,’ however, the anchor is heard saying that the veracity of the video is yet to be verified. [...] We could thus conclude that the viral video shared to claim that it’s raining worms in China is false. The clip actually shows catkins, or inflorescence, of poplar trees scattered on the surface of cars and roads, and not worms.
