The term ''Worm Moon'' or ''Crow Moon'' refers to March's full moon. The Old Farmer's Almanac, which began publishing the names for the full moons in the 1930s, states that the full moon in March is referred to as the ''Worm Moon'' because earthworms are thought to appear around this time as the ground thaws from winter. According to NASA, Southern Native American tribes specifically call it this due to the ''earthworm casts that appear as the ground thaws.'' For similar reasons, other tribes named the moon based on different signs of spring. For example, some Northern Native American tribes referred to the March full moon as the ''Crow Moon'' because the cawing of crows signals the end of winter. The ''Worm Moon'' is seen through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 24/03/2024.

Slug, or land slug, is a common name for any apparently shell-less terrestrial gastropod mollusk. Most species of slugs are generalists, feeding on a broad spectrum of organic materials, including leaves from living plants, lichens, mushrooms, and even carrion. Some slugs are predators and eat other slugs, snails, or earthworms. Slugs' bodies are made up mostly of water and, without a full-sized shell, their soft tissues are prone to desiccation. They must generate protective mucus to survive. Many species are most active just after rain because of the moist ground or during nighttime. A land slug was observed crawling on the floor of a house and shrinking when touched at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 19/03/2024.
