72 Seasons

The name of this season refers to the worms that were hibernating which crawl to the surface. The animals that have spent the winter underground usually come to the surface in early March during the "Awakening of Insects" seasons, but perhaps compared to other animals, the worms wake up late. A dig in a field or flower bed at that time of year will often reveal sleepy, slow-moving worms.
