77 worms (& 2 slugs)

On Friday, I woke up to it absolutely pouring rain outside. By 8:30, it all suddenly cleared up, and I went out for a walk. There was an absurd amount of worms everywhere. I took pictures of them for about an hour (and was extremely careful where I stepped…)

To sort them:

  1. I asked my computer to sort them into 5 groups via a quick k-means clustering script I found online.
  2. I sorted them by hand, by worm orientation. This was super tedious and it’s not as pretty as I’d like, but it’s as good as it’s gonna get today!

Enjoy! (see if you can find the 2 bonus slugs). I will post the high-quality versions online somewhere…
