Worm time!

Walking on campus with Kim, I spotted a green inchworm, hanging by a long inchworm thread from a tree, blowing in the wind. This led us to a discussion on how Kim marks the seasons by the prevalence of certain insects.

me: Woah, look at that guy. It's like a worm kite!

Kim: Yeah, it's that time.

me: What time is that?

Kim: It's worm time!

me: Ha, worm time?

Kim: Yeah, what's funny about that?

me: Is that like, "lightning bug time"? (a reference to a previous, similar comment)

Kim: Oooh, yes, I like lightning bug time. That's in the summer.
